Swiss traditions

Here are a couple of Christmas traditions we have learned about so far:

A few Saturdays ago two ladies were selling these in our village. There are four candles and you burn one candle each Sunday leading up to Christmas. We have started burning them but haven't made it too far because we can only do it when Henry is sleeping. He has learned how to push chairs around the kitchen and has tried to "catch" the fire every time he sees them lit up.
We also received this little sack filled with the goodies you see here from our neighbors. These loaves of bread shaped like little men are very Swiss and reminded me of gingerbread men. They are sprinkled with sugar on top which makes them slightly sweeter than plain white bread. There were also peanuts and chocolate mice.

Here is a close up of the chocolate. We didn't find out until we had eaten almost all of them that we were supposed to hang them on our tree. Whoops! Who can honestly resist a good Swiss chocolate?
