Hold on… before we pour ourselves and look back, please pause and do a thoughtful dangle. Do we smell that…? Do we smell the scent of cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and rose water? We do. Others don’t. You only have to go over to France to see what we have in December – the smell of Advent in Germany.
What France doesn’t have…? It has no marzipan and no stollen, no mulled wine and no grog, no Advent wreath and no trumpet trumpet, no brook and no Handel, no bunches of spices or incense smokers, neither red cabbage with goose nor Mutzen almonds.
