It is very Christmas?
Not so much for many people. Advent mood at the workplace is difficult in many professions anyway, often additional annual financial statements have to be prepared, and even in the shops that sell Christmas articles, there is more hectic than a contemplative mood.
Sure, in retail and Christmas on the street it is a little. But less and less on the street, energy is expensive - and in times of an energy transition that the citizen bags much more than an industry that provides too few resources that are too gentle to resources, is now more popular in public spaces than glowing light. It has been Christmas in retail since September , so you are simply through, no one torses anyone anymore and certainly no longer lets Advent mood arise.
But Advent mood is possible , you just have to do it yourself, and that works very well with the help of the many art that is offered everywhere in Advent.
Advent and art in their region
Even if your home with many lights "Before Advent mood" (how it works without becoming impoverished by the electricity bill, you will find out in the article "If the Christmas mood is dark, helps light") should open up and capture Advent mood outside. In every community, it is no longer necessarily familiar with a high -circulation local newspaper, all these offers.

You can find out quickly and mostly conveniently on the Internet, which is going on to your home town in Advent, a search engine request with the keywords "place" and "Advent" or "Place" and "Christmas" usually spends several pages of various offers, and on the website www.meinestadt.de/ortsname you will find the Christmas market compressed, from Christmas market to Christmas dinner to Christmas cinema.
A few ideas and keywords for tracking down art and the Advent mood in your environment:
- In Germany there are 11,374 politically independent cities and municipalities, about three times as many places, and there is probably an art association that offers something special in Advent.
- Then there are also castles and castles, town halls and parish halls, music schools and art schools, churches and cathedrals, museums and squares presented "Art in Advent" in the heated greenhouses
- Also in numerous studios, the “Kunstadvent” invited, which does not always mean that, but always offers art to reputation and Christmas. In the art quarter "Grauer Hof" in Aschersleben there is not only art at the Christmas market, but also fairy tales and fairy tale films, cookies and stick bread, handicrafts and mulled wine, concerts and tower wind players.
- Oh yes - the Christmas markets - these are now available in a large number of cities in a commerce freed from the nasty commerce, alternative version, they are then called z. B. Christmas and environmental markets- and it is really astonishing how interesting the offer can be on a market where the whole colorful plastic Christmas stuff has no access. If the Advent market presents many artists and artisans or takes place in the museum, this is of course the best opportunity Christmas presents that not everyone buys and not everyone has.
- But you can also design Christmas markets or advent sales , which are not just about "Christmas" art, such as the traditional Advent sales exhibition of the Freundeskreis of the University of the Künste Berlin, on which works by well-known artists are offered.
- And there are areas in every larger city that are decorated with a really nice Christmas lighting (in most cases already as energy -saving as in the article "When the Christmas mood is dark, light helps"). The Berlin Ku'damm (Kurfürstendamm, the traditional boulevard in the west of the city) is a nice example to visit the Christmas dress of 2012 at www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk3jgo-wleq .
So many ideas are probably enough for "a few Christmas", but usually not too much, but too little time is the problem. That is why you will present a few ideas in the article "Advent mood-in and from the computer", like overzealous screen workers, the rest of your office or the family on the dinner table (with "background cinema") in a Christmas mood:
