We are all really looking forward to the main event this December and at the same time we are hoping that December 25th will be as fabulous as it should be. In anticipation of Christmas, we have come up with a few tricks that will make preparations for the festive season a fair bit easier.
Christmas
Once again this year, SNG Maribor will spoil us with a Christmas-New Year's concert by the house symphony orchestra. Get ready for an unforgettable musical event and brighten up the festive December days for yourself and your loved ones.
Just as the festive lights lit up Ljubljana and other Slovenian cities and towns a few days ago, the festive spirit also took hold of Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, from where wonderful shots of the Christmas tree come. This is even higher than Ljubljana's "Melania", which measures 20 meters in height. But what fascinates more than its height is the magical 'cloak' of lights in which the mighty fir tree, which stands proudly in front of the Vilen Cathedral, is dressed. What do you think, does she surpass Melania or is the Ljubljana woman still prettier?
At least one of the reindeer will be missing from Santa's fleet this year, as Japan's Domino's clocks him up for Christmas pizza delivery.
H&M entrusted the shooting of its Christmas ad this year to film giant Wes Anderson, the director behind films such as The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Magnificent Tenenbaums, The Wonderful Fox and Life Under Water. It is a short film starring Oscar winner Adrien Brody.
Although phones have brought a lot of positive things into our lives and we are more connected than ever before, this is just a false feeling as we have started neglecting our family and friends around us due to excessive use. Christmas is a time for family and friends. It's time we listen to each other. It's time to put down our smartphones and focus on our loved ones. At least that's what Huawei appeals in its Christmas ad #BePresent, which is aware that we are easily sucked in by their phones, but wants us to give them up, at least for the day. Watching this commercial will give you goosebumps!
Today is the beginning of Advent, which will last until Christmas Eve. Probably the most recognizable symbol of this time is the Advent wreath. Today we will light the first candle.
This year's Christmas can be truly unique. T fairytale are charming Christmas tree balls that carry a hand-made fairy with angel wings inside. Together with the dedication, this is an ideal addition to the Christmas tree or a unique gift for our loved ones.
In addition to lights and a decorated Christmas tree on Prešeren square, we will also be accompanied by music during the holiday season. The Christmas concert in front of the magistrate 2016 will traditionally warm us up with wonderful melodies. This year's soloists will be: Martina Burger (soprano), Matej Vovk (tenor) and Aleksanda Naumovski Potisk (piano). Welcome!
A Christmas tree is also part of the obligatory Christmas decoration. We Slovenians are quite traditional when it comes to Christmas decorations. As a rule, our apartment is decorated with natural or artificial spruce. Why not try something different this year? We present great alternatives to classic, natural or artificial Christmas trees or spruces that you can make yourself.
Do you have a tech-savvy friend or family member? We have prepared ideas for Christmas and New Year gifts that will make technology lovers' eyes light up.
Christmas time is the most beautiful time of the year for many people and, let's face it, we also like to succumb to the festive atmosphere. Many companies put a lot of effort into their Christmas ads at this time, because they quickly get under our skin and we like to share them with our loved ones. We were particularly impressed by the Heathrow Airport Christmas ad, which will warm your heart for a long time.
