Happy Christmas! / God jul / Gledileg jol /Joyeaux Noel

(... and that's me for languages!)

I am in England with family presently - all very nice, and although it is mild and grey here, it beats the yucky rain that I see is forecast back in Troms fylke (county) presently... :-/ (at least over here we expect rain during winter-time, and so are content to have a dry Christmas, let alone a white one!)


Here is our Christmas tree, to get you a little into the festive version of how we spend Christmas here. In tune with most of the Nation, tommorrow will be spent eating and drinking, in front of the open fire. Boxing Day (26th) will be more eating and drinking (!) and then it will start to slow down.... my big sister is away until 28th, and it will all begin again when she visits shortly afterwards (the eating and drinking). HOWEVER, there shall be some excellent family walks and plenty of good times to be had in this prolonged xmas-time festiveness - it isn't all about the eating and drinking ;)

Have a good Christmas, and new year! :)
