Christmas Eve is the happiest time in the year for all Norwegian children and those adult who are childlike and have the ability to rejoice in the small things in life. We will celebrate this Christmas with our daughter Ruth Kristin and our son David, his wife Lene and their two children Mathilde and Jonathan. We will soon go to attend the special Christmas service at the church and when we return back home we will enjoy the special Christmas dinner and afterward we will distribute and open all the Christmas presents. It will be a long evening and night as we take time to each present to be unwrapped and admired and thanks to be given before we move on in opening another packet. In that way we all rejoice with one another and take note of what each one receives as a present. And of cause we will also have Christmas cookies and cakes along with fruits and wonderful Indian tea.
I wish all my friends a happy Christmas and a blessed new year!
