MERRY CHRISTMAS
After meeting Susanne I took the plane to Bergen with my mother, it was almost Christmas on the plane. The sun was setting and gave a perfect mood (the only bad thing was a really strick flight attendant - she told me not to read my book since I was sitting next to an emergency exit - wtf?).
So I arrived in Bergen on "little Christmas eve" (that's what the 23rd is called in Norway). I've been trying to get my mood into Christmas mood in warp speed, but I'm still quite not there. Christmas seems to be coming one day too early this year.
I'm having a fast sit down in between the working assignments of picking up my grandmother, peeling the potaoes, ironing my shirt, helping out with the food etc. etc. Even though I said my Christmas mood isn't here quite yet I really think I'll get it by the end of the afternoon!
I'm really looking forward to a great meal of "pinnekjøtt" with "kålrabi" and all the dishes that MUST be a part of the Christmas meal!
I've got to run!
Christmas is a time for happiness and joy, but not everyone is that fortunate. Remember that when you celebrate with your family and loved ones. Merry Christmas to you all!

HOME SWEET HOME
Today I have relaxed more, mostly by trying to make a system of Fie's and Juha's pictures. I got half way throught Fie's and Juha's mostly unsorted :)
This evening Petter, Mats and Andreas went out for a pizza and some catching up chatting. It was nice, but it's sad I'm only staying in Skien until the 23rd. But I'll try to meet as many people as possible before I leave.
We're going to celebrate Christmas in Bergen with friends and family. I'm of course looking forward to seeing them again as well!
Now I'm going to relax a bit in front of the television before I go to bed. Happy pre Christmas everyone!
