Advent!

Here is Finlay waiting outside of the door this evening to see if Nikolaus brings him anything and Finlay helping Chistine to light the Advent candles. Note the cookie box next to the candles (the box is starting to become a very important part of our household, now that Finlay has determined that he likes cookies) and the Christmas Cat coming out of the apartment. OK, she's not a Christmas Cat. She's Puzzle, the other roommate who Finlay lives with. Puzzle and Finlay generally get along - there have only been a few scratches and pulled whiskers. Since Puzzle is equally interested in anything food-related, she also wants to see what Nikolaus will bring her. Perhaps a small bowl of Sheba - Empfehlung des Saisons...

Tomorrow morning we will see whether Nikolaus remembered to add Finlay to his list! Just like our tax returns, thank you notes and other important paperwork, we might have been somewhat late in filing the Antrag/application...
