Preparing for Christmas-19.

Some of my friends has this tradition of gather friends over to bake gingerbread one week before the Christmas break starts. A nice and fun gathering.

Last week at work….

Sunset on my walk to the tram πŸš‹ at Bekkestua.
Icy, slippery streets with rain and snow and cold nights…
Christmas party with work, December 20 at #bærumsverk. And a chocolate box from my land lord and land lady.

And now have I finally the Christmas break. 😊 16 days 😊.

And December 21, Gingerbread cookies day with my American girl friend BobbiJo;

Sundag December 22, safron bread tradition; have the television on w/ some ski β›·πŸŽΏ programe, make the safron bread, use mom’s apron πŸ˜‰.

Until this year I have been struggling to get the Christmas feeling, but this year it felt like my mom (who is sick w/ demensia) reminded me to use her apron during the baking of safron bread. And it helped. πŸ’–momπŸ’–.

Merry Christmas to you All!!

Little Christmas the 23rd.

Christmas for me is spending time with family. This Christmas is in Norway, with both my biologic brothers. My oldest brother has three kids, two teenagers and one on eight y.o. What a lovely combination

When we woke up at 08.30 am we had breakfast and then we started with ginger bread baking.

I prefer teenagers where ever I am where I can help or work with. So to do things with my nephew on thirteen and my niece on fifhteen make my life easier and happy. 

The little Christmas, the 23rd, went we out to play in the snow. The brothers started to make a fort/castle and me and my niece tried to slide in the  new fallen snow.. haha what a joke! It did not work! But I figured out that if we asked the neigbor we might get it by sliding down the slope from the hay barn. (Picture below)

We played games inside, my middle brother and youngest nephew went out for a Christmas three…

Making candy…

We spent time together doing different things in the afternoon and me and my niece went for a walk to the grocery store to be able to bake safron bread.

In the evening, I think we where done with the safron bread at eleven pm.. They taste so good! 

A good day with lots of fun and nice things happen.
