I will definately miss this

They call it jul month"christmas month", i think they needed to call it a parting month, because as far as i can remember i have never been to so many parties before especially ones in which rice porridge is a main delicacy, in the second week of December i had grøt (rice porridge) for dinner four days in a row that was crazy!!!.

First it was our Norwegian class turned into a pepper kaker making class, come to think of it pepper cakes, sounds interesting but they are something more close to ginger biscuits spiced up with cadamon and cinamon. Then it was card making at marita women' cafe . This something i would love to practice more in the future, giving gifts with a personal touch and not necessarily monitory touch.Then it was the christmas presents game at the C.U. and even more parties.Then came the "jul aften"Christmas eve where everyone dresses up and goes to church in the evening and to go back home for special Christmas food.The amazing thing is that everyone in Norway would tel you they may have eaten the same Christmas food every year for as long as they can remember.

I cannot forget to talk about the reason for the season,that is Jesus Christ" and he is every good and perfect gift from Gods heart to ours, he is the joy, peace and love that we need as human beings".
