Julegaverne / The Christmas presents

Jeg fik nogle virkelig dejlige julegaver i år! Denne her dejlige julepyjamas i flonel er jo lige hvad man har brug for til en dag derhjemme. 

I got some really lovely presents this year! This really nice flannel Christmas pajamas is just what you need for a day at home. 

Min søster var gået lidt amok, og jeg fik SÅ meget! Jeg fik også de her øreringe som ikke bare er med café latte, men med Pumpkin Spice Latte. 

My sister really bought a lot - I got so many things! I also had these earrings that are not just café latte, but Pumpkin Spice Latte. 

Bogen om Dronning Margrethe glæder jeg mig virkelig til at læse. Hun er så sej! Bogen med strikket julepynt var nok min adventsgave som havnede i pakkelegen. Der var lige lidt drama.... Men nu er den så hos mig, og den er fin!

The book about Queen Margrethe is something I'm really looking forward to read. She is so amazing! The book with knitted Christmas decorations was probably my Advent gift which ended up in the gift-game. There was a bit of drama.... But now it's here with me, and it's pretty!

Så var der servietter, holdere til at hænge potteplanter op på væggen, en saks som ligner en tukan og - Anthony Fauci grillhandske! DEN vil jeg passe godt på!

Det var jo helt vildt at få så mange gaver fra USA, og hvor ER jeg bare glad for at jeg kom derover!

Then I had napkins, holders for hanging up plants on the wall, scissors that look like a toucan and - an Anthony Fauci oven mitten! I'll really take good care of that one! 

It's a bit crazy having this many gifts from the US, and I'm SO happy I got to go!

Min søde niece havde købt helt vildt lækkert uldgarn og noget virkelig fancy gin fra Møn. Det glæder jeg mig til at smage og strikke. (I må selv gætte hvad der skal bruges til hvad!)

Min anden niece havde faktisk også købt noget megafancy gin - den er klart blå men bliver lilla når der kommer tonic i. Hun var her til julehygge, og så prøvesmagte vi, så den kommer ikke lige med som billede. Den smager godt!

My very sweet niece bought totally yummy wool and some really fancy gin from Møn. I'm looking forward to tasting and knitting. (You can guess for yourself which will be used for what!)

My other niece bought some really fancy gin as well, actually. It's bright blue but turns purple as soon as the tonic is poured in. She was here for our family time, and we tested it, so it didn't turn up as a photo. It tastes good!

Jeg kan godt lide gin. Rigtig godt! Det er åbenbart almen kendt, for jeg fik også denne fantastiske gave - en tur på ginskole i Haslev! Så skal jeg lave min helt egen gin. Tror nok lige der skal lidt kanel i. Måske også lidt nelliker? Det bliver sjovt!

I really do like gin. A lot! Apparently, everybody knows, because I also had this amazing gift - a trip to a gin school in Haslev! To make my very own gin. I do think I'll make it with a bit of cinnamon. Maybe also a bit of cloves? It will be fun!

Min nevø gav mig en tur i biffen. Med ham, men jeg må vælge film. Jeg er ikke sikker på at det var sådan HELT gennemtænkt, for han så en smule sjov ud i hovedet da vi begyndte at diskutere hvilken film det mon ville blive? Men jeg glæder mig!

My nephew gave me a trip to the movies. With him, but I'll pick the movie. I'm not quite sure that he really thought it through, because he looked a bit funny when we started discussing which movie we would end up seeing? But I'm really looking forward to this!

Denne gave var det største drama. For DEN havnede i pakkelegen, og hende på 7 som vandt den, blev pænt skuffet. Min nevø, som havde købt den som julegave til mig, men ikke kunne være med sidste søndag, var temmelig stresset over det. Men nu havnede den hos mig. Lækre ting fra Body Shop!

This gift gave the biggest drama. THIS one ended up in the gift game, and the 7-year old who won it was quite disappointed. My nephew, who bought it as a gift for me, but couldn't come last Sunday, was quite stressed over this. But now it ended up with me. Lovely stuff from the Body Shop!

Min bror og svigerinde spørger altid i god tid hvad jeg ønsker mig, og i år ønskede jeg mig så stel! Så her er starten på mit nye, helt vildt fine stel. Jeg må være blevet rigtigt voksen nu.....

My brother and sister-in-law always asks really early what I wish for, and this year, I asked for porcelain! So this is the beginning of my new, very fancy table-ware. It must be a sign that I'm very adult by now.....

Familiens nye krea-mus havde også lavet gaver i år, og jeg fik et fint billede. Det skal SÅ meget op at hænge et godt sted! Håber virkelig snart hun kan komme på besøg. 

The new creative elf of the family also made gifts this year, and I had this beautiful picture! I'll find a great spot for it on the wall. I do hope she can come for a visit soon.
