Finally finished with all my Christmas presents!! Just in time as I'm heading back to work tomorrow and will probably be in a coma until sometime in the afternoon on the 23. Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and a blessed new year!! :)

 Gingerbread cookies for my aunt and uncles!

01 o'clock

Oddly enough I'm not feeling the slightest bit tired right now, which is weird seeing its past 01 in the morning, and yet not so weird considering I've just worked 6 nights shift. So what does one do with the lack of sleepiness: make some cute Christmas treats!!


 
Next I might quiz myself on the capitals of the world. I'm certain it's most useful to be able to know the capital and shape of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. The capital is nothing less than Grytviken. A Norwegian whaler being the only person crazy enough to want to establish himself there back in 1904. In case you are wondering there was also a Prince Olav Harbour and a Husvik and a Stromsness. Its polar and suffers from few hours of sunlight during the year. Sounds like another place I've been.. Seems to me he would have been more comfortable settling himself on the more northern Sandwich Islands, also known as Hawaii. (Det hadde vært enda hakket mer patriotisk å kalt de Brødskive Øyene liksom ,)

December!

Some glimpses from the household the last few days:

 The dog takes life easy, even in december



 Making yummy kransekakestenger!

 The christmas calender- no we are never too old for a calender ;)

 One of the perks of having a sister wearing the same clothes size as myself, and liking to shop a whole lot more than me :) Two trash bags full of cute stuff for me to inherit, yey

Today it's my little shrimp of a brother's birthday!! He's finally done with his fjortis days. He keeps growing like a weed, and this year I was able to inherit his winter coat from last year ;) Sometimes it pays off to be the shortest in the family..
