The speaker, Cecilia, is welcoming the first day of Advent in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, a small town near the North Pole. She expresses her love for the Polar night, a period of four months when the sun is not visible, and the subsequent two months of pitch black darkness. She appreciates the magic and cozy atmosphere this season brings, and she mentions the healing effect it has on her mind.
Cecilia shares a tradition that takes place on the first of Advent, where the village welcomes Santa Claus back. The entire village is lit up by torches, and according to a legend, Santa Claus lives in a mine in the village mountain. He is said to return home on the first of Advent, light up his home, and put out a post box for children to put their wish lists in.
The weather was very favorable this year, with no wind and a crisp minus eight degrees. The Christmas tree was lit up on the main square, and the speaker expresses her curiosity about what the tree will look like this year. She also mentions that she and her friends often walk between the cabins for coffee or to hang out.
Cecilia mentions that she uses NordVPN, a virtual private network, for two main reasons: to keep her data safe when using public Wi-Fi, and to access entertainment websites. She provides a link to NordVPN's website where viewers can get four months for free on a two-year plan.
The speaker also talks about her friends, Olivia and Einar, who have been living in Svalbard for around ten years. Olivia is pregnant and will be traveling to the mainland in a month to prepare for the baby's arrival.
Finally, Cecilia expresses her desire to do a version of vlogmas this year, but acknowledges that she won't be able to post every day. She encourages viewers to like and subscribe to her channel to get notifications when she posts.
