It is the 23rd of December. Most homes had their Decorations up Weeks Ago. As usual, we are late. Even my daughter´s Christmas calendar is a day late. My youngest daughter, Tatyana, has been nagging me prepare the decorations weeks ago but there was always something to be done or some errands to run. 

Every year, my Husband and the kids go to the forrest and cut a Tree. We don´t buy. In my years in Norway, we bought a tree twice. The first Christmas we spent here and last year, it was a gift from our eldest daughter (technically, this does not count). This year, Tatyana and my husband got a nice tree. Then I decorated it with her. We had Christmas songs, we sang them, we danced. We had fun. 

I love Christmas.
