Greetings for the Second Sunday of Advent

At the Christmas Market 

A marzipan potato
wanted to go to the Christmas market.
Outside its crinkly bag,
to see all the colorful hustle and bustle there.
 
It had heard so much about it,
but could hardly believe it.
Music and lights everywhere
and children’s bright, shining eyes.
 
The carousel spins round and round
with cars, planes, and horses.
Next to it there are sweet treats,
heaven on earth for children.
 
Bratwurst, punch, and egg grog,
parents enjoy those.
And our marzipan potato
looks out at the wide world.
 
Off to the side stands a little girl.
She cries very quietly to herself,
because in her crinkly bag,
there is sadly nothing left inside.
 
Santa Claus saw this,
reaches into the sack with the presents.
And what he gave her,
you can probably guess…

I wish you all a cozy Second Sunday of Advent.

Best wishes,
Marlies
