Light in the Darkness

One time we had a nice social gathering with some friends in the afternoon. Earlier that day we did the preparations for our little party, like cooking and decorating. We made colourful garlands out of crepe paper and hung them up in the room. Added to that we turned some jars into lanterns and Maya decorated some pumpkins with incredibly funny faces.

In the afternoon our friends came and we turned on some music to dance and chat together. Now that it is getting dark quite early, we also lit the candles in the jars that we had prepared earlier. With the big light turned off and just the warm candlelight softly illuminating the room, a comfortable atmosphere was created. After a while we started eating the delicious food (thank you Joanna:) and had a really nice time.

Later that evening we took the jars and used them as lanterns to have a little walk. It was a wonderful evening and as one of our friends beautifully reminded us, even as the darkest time of the year approaches, we all still carry light within us.
