CHRISTMAS!

Now I am going to tell you a bit about Christmas in Norway. I think Christmas is the best time of the year. The children are counting down the days to Christmas, with a weed advent calendar. We open one weed each day, from 1.December to 24.December but if you have a calendar from other countries, you can have one weed more. In Norway, we open the presents 24.December. The presents are under the Christmas tree. Often the children get Christmas stocking with some candy or other things in. In the evening, we eat good food, lamb rib and pork rib with supplies are Norwegian Christmas food. For the children the dinner takes so long time, they want to open the presents and they are so exited! They can not wait. We eat desert before or after we open the presents. When it is Christmas we eat whipped cream with rice for desert. We get Christmas holiday, and that is maybe the best with the whole Christmas. This year it was a very short holiday because Christmas Eve was on a Saturday. Now it is snow in Norway, but in the holiday it wasn’t snow where I live. I hope you had a great Christmas I wish you a happy new year!
