Christmas day, the 25th. This morning started with rain and plus degrees and very slippery walk to the church service 😆😆
1pm, Priest – my brother and a local brass band and a solo violinist.
The Christmas crib in Haltdalen church.
After the service we went over to my sister in law’s mother for some Christmas brunch that lasted to afternoon 😆😆.
When we got home, there where Tusse in the couch 😊 😻.
The house cat, Tusse.
Later on I sat down with the jigsaw. A jigsaw with 2000 pieces. A good challenge! A Christmas tradition I like.
2nd Christmas day, the 26th.
I started where I left the jigsaw the evening before, now having late breakfast and Coffee with the jigsaw while my brother and sister in law went to the gym. A good one and a half hour alone in the house. Only Tusse was at home sleeping somewhere…
Remember to enjoy this dayno matter if you are with friends, family or alone at home or away! It’s a day for us all no matter where we are in life! Jesus was born for you.
I am home alone, almost, my cat is with with me…
Listening to the sound from the TV service..
I am watching the early morning Christmas Day service, which in Sweden is called ‘julotta’ and in Norway called ‘julemesse’. This was something I gladly did every year as an aduldt with my mom, and now 2 years after ahe died I do it with thoughts of her ❤Mom❤.
With one of my favorite songs during Christmas “Holly night” 💜. I need to hear it at least once on Christmas Day.
Christmas is often said “to spend time with family & friends” probably becauce it’s a long tradition and what most people are used to do. But my question is; why can’t you or me be alone in this time and celebert Christmas? I like being alone at home and just be, doing nothing or being creative. No stress, no must’s, just me 😊. I don’t say I don’t like being with friends during Christmas. I like the mix of both. Yet, I think it’s interesting how most people thinks ” you must/should not be alone during Christmas “. Why?
I am curious about what you think, please write your thoghts if you like this post.
I have to say I have been like this since I were a child, so those thought are not new. I don’t say I don’t miss having “my own family and spend time with them” even during Christmas or any other Holiday. I guess I am saying I like my Quality time to do what I like 😉. Anyway, I am never alone cauce the Lord is always with me no matter where I am or what I do 😊✝️.
Maybe you work this weekend, then you are with co-workers, not alone all the time yet you will have time to be alone and / or a chose to be with your loved once. Maybe you don’t have a family and spend most of your days alone and need to spend time with friends this weekend, then do! As long as you enjoy it ❤. We all have different life and we all have different needs in life and it’s okay 😉.
So back to the first line of this post remember to enjoy this time of Christmas alone or with friends or family. Do it your way and Enjoy it.
