German Advent with the Banks and Hunters

The Hunter Advent candle looked something like this

Grandmother Hunter is of German descent.  As such, the Hunter family participates in German Advent every Christmas.  This actually involves four Sundays before Christmas.  We were at Banks home for the second Sunday,  two candles were lit.  Then, starting with the youngest and working up to the oldest, everyone was able to select a song to sing.  Some were fun songs and some were more religious.  The evening ended with "Silent Night" in German.  Sister Banks also provided snacks.  I had never tried cranberry salsa before but found it to be rather good.
We as a family have placed advent calendars throughout our house, without knowing that they are modern version of the traditional Advent.
Sorry no pictures
