Christmas is Coming Up!

Short update before Christmas, visit from Norway and maybe the last post this year! yikes!
I have finally got crutches, so now I can walk more easily! ;)
I have been to town today to buy Christmas presents. It's fun! :) I am getting the Christmas spirit; great listening to Christmas carols and songs and beeing with good friends. We are still looking for a Christmas tree, though. Maybe we will end up just taking a branch from the Letchi tree! ;) Of course there is no snow here - that makes Ola and Eline wish for rain and thunder on Monday (which is when we will celebrate).

We have baked some Christmas cookies (Norwegian tradition) and we have done the big shopping. Or more correct; the others have done the shopping. I didn't have crutches at that time; so I was in the house. But I got to clean the kitchen very nicely; so now we can really have a nice celebration! We have bought Christmas crackers for the table, witch is my contribution of the English celebration I'm used to. I'm also responsible for collaborating with Father Christmas so the Christmas stockings will be lying on our beds on the 25th. It's all very exciting!

I miss people at home a bit; but not as much as I thought I would do (sorry folks). I know I am with very special people here; so I don't mind. It's great to celebrate Christmas in a new way with new people!

NowI would like to wish you all a very HAPPY CHRISTMAS and A HAPPY NEW YEAR! Have a great celebration wherever you are. Make the last days of 2007 special. If you can't be with the one(s) you love - love the one(s) you're with! ;-)

Hei Inki!

Jeg må innrømme at det er lenge siden jeg har lest bloggen din nå, men det var skikkelig koselig å lese om hvordan du skal feire jul. Den gamle klassen-gjengen spiste middag sammen her en dag, men det ble ikke helt det samme uten deg ;) (...og toyyabah som er i pakistan)

Jeg ønsker deg en fortsatt riktig god jul, og godt nyttår!

Gleder meg til du kommer hjem og kan fortelle mer og vise bilder.

Stor klem fra en Ingird som er superglad i deg!

(Ask Torvik altså.. det finnes jo mange ingrid'er, men du forsto sikkert at det var meg:P)

I hope that you had a wonderful christmas and a happy new year ^^

And there is no sow in Norway yet, and has not been any more than the white frost on rooftops in desember.
