My christmas

Dear Friends,

I did say I was going to share some pictures from my christmas.
We have had a really nice christmas the traditional way. 

The house is ready, we clean and decorate all over.

This red Nisse sits on the mantlepiece every christmas since the children were small.

Our Christmastree is great !  Franz goes out to cut it himself.  He searches for the best one !

Julenissen comes to Norwegian homes on Christmas eve.  This one in particular speaks german, and his reindeers are always making trouble outside.  And Franz is never there !

Christmas morning we have a nice long breakfast with traditional food.

And on boxing day the whole extended family gets together for a big christmas party.  We even dance around the christmastree singing christmas songs.

So all in all nothing new has happened.  Everything has been like its been for many many years.  And thats really great.  Thats exactly what we wanted for christmas.  Just to be together and enjoy.

Warm christmas greetings from Birgit
