Jul / Christmas

Endelig blev det jul. Glædelig jul! Juleaften blev tilbragt hos min søster. Vi gik om juletræet om eftermiddagen, hvilket fungerer rigtig godt. Man kan meget bedre nyde maden, nemlig, når der ikke er spændte børn. Man synger også meget bedre rundt om juletræet INDEN al maden!

Finally, Christmas came! Happy Christmas!
Christmas Eve was at my sister's this year. We walked around the Christmas tree and opened presents in the afternoon, which works really well. It is much easier to enjoy the Christmas dinner without very excited kids waiting for their gifts, and you sing way better, walking around the tree without all that food inside.


Der var såmænd rigeligt med spænding i luften! Uh, som det er spændende med gaverne, når man er barn! Alle fik gode gaver og var mægtig glade. Jeg fik endda et rigtigt knus af min nevø på 14, fordi han var glad for sin gave! Det er meget stort fra en teenager.....

Excitement was palpable anyway, though. How can you not be so excited about the gifts when you are a child? Everybody were happy with their gifts. I even received a real hug from my 14 year old nephew because he was happy with his present! That's huge from a teenager......


Jeg fik også dejlige gaver. Aftenens overraskelser var nok robot-glaskuglen og vækkeuret med indbygget frisbee som man skal sætte på for at slukke det igen......
En ny tepotte stod højt på listen! Denne her er stor og har indbygget tesi. Den skal nok blive brugt!

I also had some wonderful presents. The biggest surprises were the robot ornament and the alarmclock with a frisbee that flies off. You have to find it and put it back on for the alarm to stop......
The new teapot is something I really wanted. It is big and holds a tea strainer. I'm going to use this a lot!


Der var også lækkert garn. Uld fra Letland og minkgarn fra - øh - Esbjerg. Der var strikkebøger! Hele 3 dejlige bøger fik jeg! Lige nu ligger de i min kuffert fordi de skal med til Jylland, men I kommer til at se dem senere.
Aftenens hit fra mig blev nok gaven til niecen. En Rainbow Loom importeret fra USA. Til at lave armbånd mm af små elastikker. Hun var oppe på 4 armbånd inden jeg tog hjem....
Nu er der bare tilbage at nyde hele 5 fridage og hygge med familien. Glædelige juledage til alle jer derude!

There was yarn, too. Yummy yarn! Wool from Latvia and mink from - ehm - Esbjerg. There were knitting books! I got on less than 3 books! Right now they are in my suitcase, going with me to Jutland. You are going to see them later!
The best gift from me was the one for my niece. A Rainbow Loom, bought in the US. For making bracelets and stuff from little rubberbands. Before I left, she had made 4 already......
Now all I have to do is enjoying 5 days off from work, spending time with the family.
Happy days of Christmas to all of you!
