Happy New Year!

I never got a chance to wish you merry christmas, so a belated merry christmas and a happy new year! We had such a good time spending christmas eve and christmas day at my parents place. Then every December 26th since I was a little girl, my moms family meets for a  christmas family party. My mom has 7 siblings, and my grandmother has 16 grandkids so you can only imagine all the noise we make. Either way, we always have a lot of fun!

Happy new year! Hope 2014 was great and 2015 will be even better!

My Christmas Angel

My mom is such a handy and inventive woman. Ever since I can remember she has loved to make stuff. Especially knitting and crocheting.

She made me the angel you can see down below. I do think I can use it all year around, but I decided to make it a part of my christmas decorations. Now every year when we put up our christmas decorations I will think of my mom when we  get to this angel, and I hope that someday I will be as inventive as she's always been!

Believe in the magic of the season

Let it be, December 15th 2014

Decorating For Christmas Time

I am one of the biggest christmas lovers ever. I absolutely love December and all that's to it. We decided to put up our christmas decorations early this year. The tradition here in Norway is that you put up your christmas decorations on December 22nd or 23rd, and it stays up until 5th or 6th of January.

Last year, in 2013, I put ours up November 30th. You can only imagine all the surprised looks I got from the people visiting us the next month. This year, 2014, I put they up 7th of December. 

Our christmas decorations are a good mix of mine, his and everything we brought from our parents place when we moved out. I can't wait until we got our own house and I can go out shopping for christmas decorations. I love the warm and cozy feeling christmas brings!
