At least it is here in Norway where they celebrate Christmas on the 24th. So at the moment I am sitting in my apartment doing this...but will soon go to Peter and Hilde's house to have Christmas dinner with them and their family!! NICE! Fun thing is that tonight I will phone home and it will be Christmas there at the same time but different dates.....Not sure when I should be opening my presents though.
Here is a fuzzy photo of the Christmas tree I have in my house!! Very nice to have.
We have now had the darkest day (shortest day) and I am looking forward to growing sunlight and the very much anticipated day of first seeing the sun! I will be cheating a little because I will go to the south of Norway to see it.
It really is not as dark as some people may think....especially when the snow is here. Below are some photos taken about 11am. By 1pm it was totally dark again. Thank God for the snow which has been coming and going over the past weeks.
From our backyard
There is a Lavuu which has a fireplace inside and is great for when the skating rink is set up.
Another couple of viewsWell I hope the this festive season goes well for all and we always keep in mind what we are celebrating!!
God Bless!
PS My Christmas newsletter is available to download on my main website; one change however is that my trip to Mali has had to be cancelled as it clashed too much time wise with my trip to Russia....disappointing!!
