Christmas

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

Christmas has pretty much passed now and I’m finally writing a new blog entry. I haven’t updated since the beginning of December. I’m just getting worse and worse at updating it seems ^^

My cousin, Nathalie, was here this month to experience a Norwegian Christmas. It was really nice having her here :) We did some fun stuff together, played games, made a ginger bread house, went shopping and made the worlds coolest snowlady, called Iselilja :D Yeah, we actually got a white Christmas this year. I’ve never had such perfect Christmas weather in Christmas before!

We made ginger bread biscuits before she came though, and that was also a lot of fun. I’ll just upload some pics instead of writing too much, so here you go:

So now I’m just looking forward to New Year’s Eve, because that’s when my boyfriend, Caspar comes to visit me. He’ll stay for a few days so most likely  no blogging then ;)

I’ll make it one of my New Year resolutions to blog more frequently and I really hope I haven’t lost all my readers because of my absence! Merry Christmas to you all, and the best in the New Year!

December <3

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Ok so it’s December and Advent! You gotta love it ;) Unfortunately, it doesn’t mean that I have less to do just yet, so I’m still too busy to update my blog frequently. I hope to get some more time to get back into the blogging business during the Holidays though!

We’ve had some advent decorations up for more than a week now, and it’s really nice. I got this really cute Advent calendar of my mother this year! It has some really nice quality chocolate as well, with marzipan and stuff. Nothing for children, really, but just the kind of stuff I like ^^ Today I got a dark chocolate one with nougat and marzipan inside and a almond on the top :D Tasted great. Here’s a snapshot of the calendar:

My cousin, Nathalie, is coming to stay with us for Christmas btw! It’s gonna be really nice :) We haven’t seen her for a year now, and I don’t think she remembers a single Norwegian Christmas, so it will be fun to have her join all our yearly traditions!

But I really need some sleep now. I need A LOT of sleep these days. No clue why. Probably just the winter season sneaking up on me and making me so tired all the time.

I’ll tell you about all my Christmas traditions some other day! In the meantime, why don’t you tell me about yours?
