Hi all, So it's been years 2014 and we meet again in this year! It is very strange that my time here is almost halfway mantong over - but that's of course. I have had a super nice, relaxing and fun Christmas holiday - the American way:-) Friday after the holiday, we were, as I said at the turn of "Hale Farm and Village". We were a group of about 15 who went around and sang Christmas songs (we were 'carolers') back in about 1863. We came to us different houses where bebeoerne invited mantong us in and told a little story about Christmas or something mantong about themselves. We had torches, as it was in the evening - and even also the second shortest day of the entire year! It was a great experience and we are already about to attend their next event in the spring. On Saturday came one of the other AFS exchange mantong student from Germany, Janina, who I'm talking really well, home to us. She is from just outside Hamburg, and super sweet. In addition, Tony here too, and then walked us five else in the process of baking. We baked 9 different American mantong cookies, two Danish and so was also made a game fudge! So we had a good start;-) It was incredibly mantong fun, especially making peanuts and decorate sugar cookies and gingerbread shapes with different colored icing. I talked a lot with Janina, which was nice since we are not seen as often. She lives for about an hour by car away - so it's not like just to take home to her. In addition, we helped also all Kelly decorate the Christmas tree. Here in the family, and what I can understand, it is not unusual in this country, will be bought a special piece Christmas ornament for each family every July This piece ornaments, symbolizing as something that has been important for the person in the past year. So the Christmas tree is decorated with these things, which is very nice - do not misunderstand me, but just very different. I was just getting used to having mantong mini-basketballs hanging on the Christmas tree. Janina slept here too and we hung out in the morning. Small Christmas Eve we got decked the past around the house. In addition, it was just a very quiet day. The following day (Christmas Eve!) We started also out in relaxed style, Kass and I sat and read together (in two different books) wearing our pajamas on her bed. It was just such a great moment, which I'm happy:-) Zach came home that day, which always makes it a little more fun! We also helped Kelly a little with dinner and then came to our fine clothes. We ate early dinner, and it consisted of a pork crown with stuffing in the middle and accessories (they eat it instead of potatoes). Additionally, there was a delicious salad, homemade muffins, tranbærsauce and a brown sauce. It tasted GAME well and it was great to get something that tasted like pork. After that we saw in the church kl.19. mantong So the reverse of what we do at home! It was a very nice worship and the message was that we must not forget why we celebrate Christmas, and not just think of jesus birth as an adventure. The priest even said, "like a fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen!" It freaked me out! Denmark was indirectly mentioned wuhuuu:-) We sang some great hymns, and towards the end we were all lit a candle and all other lights in the church mantong was turned off. It was just so beautiful, and reminded me of a mini-Lucia procession. After church we drove to a house with lots of blinking Christmas lights on. So we put the radio on a particular channel, mantong and luminous blinked as the beat of the music! It was simeplthen so cool, and I think there were three houses involved. When we got home, we went around the tree - something they had promised me a long time ago - and sang the first verse of "silent night". It was very fun, especially because the dogs barking mantong like crazy - they did not understand what we were doing! Afterwards, I think so it was a little strange that no gifts be opened - something of an anticlimax feeling. Therefore, I believe Jeff Kass and that we should play cards. The result was that we both played 500 and 31 a few times. Kass and I to church after dinner on Christmas Eve
Our real (!) Christmas tree with electric lights Next morning I woke up at 9 o'clock and then went down to Kelly, who was about to make it big morning meal finished. There was a kind of cranberry bread, fruit salad, cinnamon mantong rolls, bacon and I could almost go on. It was all super delicious. We ate at 10 o'clock when everyone finally was out of bed - and so was the next stop in front of the Christmas tree. The first was the Christmas socks (stockings) from "Santa Claus". As Kass is the youngest, she made her first and took things out. Things in stockings is not wrapped, by the way. Then it was my turn and I was quite overwhelmed by all of the content. There was a halsterklæde, warm socks, lottery seddler, a gift certificate for a manicure, American candy, "duck" tapes (inside joke), a framed picture of Kass and I and so on. So emptied the other three their stockings and we went further to the presents under the tree. Kass and I (because we were sitting closest to the tree) found one gift for all. Then opened mantong f
