Jul i Norge!

So I'm just going to do a quick recap of what has happened over Christmas.

So first off, I was robbed of a white Christmas! But so was pretty much everywhere in Europe....... but it snowed in Egypt! The weathers being pretty weird this Winter.

Ok so in Norway they do Christmas quite different. Christmas is on the 24th! We got up and sat upstairs eating this Christmas bread With Brown cheese and we opened out stockings. Then we had a relatively long breakfast. We had this meat roll, jams, salmon, other types of Fish and a few other Things. It was quite Nice (except for the herring!).

Then we took cakes and drove to my host Familys grandmothers house. We were there for a while eating cake and talking. Then we went to Church in Tomb. It was pretty much the same as home, except they didn't do the bread and wine thing and they had more hymns and less psalms.

Then it was back home and time for Christmas dinner. We had ribs, this meat cake made out of pork flesh and meat, a type of sausage, cabbage and potatos. It was really Nice. Then for desert we had icecream With raspberries and this other thing thats kinda like a biscuity wafer (kinda difficult to explain!).

Then it was time for presents. Those poor deprived Norwegian children have to wait all day! I got some really Nice Christmas presents, including a Marius jumper!

The next few days were just sleep ins and long Christmas breakfasts. Quite relaxing!

So Christmas in Norway was pretty great!

Photos will follow soon!
