Yesterday I took part in an awesome, traditional event, which is related to Christmas. It was the first of four Sundays of Advent and it means we should have lit the first candle on the traditional Christmas wreaths. For better imagination have a look here:

Anyway back to an unforgottable, magical experience. A huge, coniferous tree was standing in the middle of the crowded square and was planned to be lit up exactly at 4:30pm. Yes, so early! However, here it is already dark at this time so I know that it might sound little bit weird to some of you. All those impatient, nervous, frozen people had something in common, they were eagerly waiting for one memorable, magical moment. To see the colorful, blinking lights, which decorated this awesome, big tree. It was an incredible, breathtaking second when the lights were turned on and I am looking forward to see it once more again. There are just two minus points: firstly I will have to wait almost for the whole upcoming year and secondly I hope there won't be such chilly weather like yesterday. Let me add that it was "only" -4°C.

Here is the picture of the tree. Source: http://dk-akord.cz/program-kurzy/kalendar-akci/ostatni-akce/rozsviceni-vanocniho-stromu.html  My phone is now being repaired, so with the phone I am using now I couldn't have taken any normal picture :-/
