To add even more festive cheer, BILD has compiled beautiful and meaningful Advent sayings perfect for sending to loved ones or using to spruce up holiday cards. These sayings paint the perfect picture of the season, from lighthearted quips to more serious reflections on love and togetherness.

This lighthearted approach can bring smiles and laughter to holiday exchanges, warming hearts during this brisk winter season.
More contemplative phrases also echo the essence of Advent—its balance of joy and reflection. One saying gently reminds us, "Zeit zu schweigen, zu lauschen, in sich zu gehen. Nur in der Stille kannst du die Wunder sehen, die der Geist von Weihnachten den Menschen schenkt," which translates to "Time to be silent, to listen, to reflect. Only in silence can you see the wonders the spirit of Christmas bestows upon people." This thought brings to the forefront the beauty of pausing during the hustle and bustle, enhancing the meaningfulness of the season.
Another deeply rooted expression encapsulates the theme of peace: "Advent – die schöne Zeit – Glocken klingen weit und breit, Kerzenlicht in jedem Heim – Frieden soll auf Erden sein!" Translated, it reads, "Advent – the beautiful time – bells ring far and wide, candlelight in every home – peace should be on Earth!" Such phrases remind us how the celebrations extend beyond gifts and parties; they represent the hope for peace and goodwill among all.
