According to time-honored tradition, Gelderland and Overijssel midwinter horn blowers blow only from the first Sunday of Advent (four Sundays before Christmas) through Three Kings (Jan. 6). The purpose of blowing is to dispel darkness and call forth light, as described in the following proverb: "They take turns blowing the message that darkness must come because light is coming.
