My Christmas in DK

Hi Guys!


Well.. Sounds like wuite a christmas for you Dori.. Thats a lot of people and a lot of food that has to be made and consumed :-)

I'll tell you a little about my x-mas... I was back in my hometown of Skive with my parents, my youngest older brother and my next oldest brother and his wife (hope it makes sense)

I arrived at the 21 st, unfortunately missing the party of the year at my school, where our class would have our yearly christmaslunch ( A danish christmaslunch is lunch with, all kinds of Hering, Pork roast, fish filets and alot of danish things such as - leverposteg, ris ala mande, frikadeller, sylte and more - all the good stuff) A real shame i missed it, but there will be one next year!

In Denmark we celebrate christams the 24th in the evenening. We started by chilling and roasting a duck then going to church at 16.00. Afterwards we would go home, light up the fireplace and have a drink! Then dinner is served. Yummy duck cooked in a local style from Bornholm (a danish island south of Sweden) Really good stuff with potatoes, sugarglazed potatoes, sauce and red cabbage! nice!

After dinner we eat Ris-alamande - a rice pudding.
Then we walk around the christmas tree ( which has real live candles) singing 10 christmas songs before we get packages!

This year I got some sweet stuff! different kinds of bowls, a camera, boxers, pillowcases, scarf and more!

Good stufF!

I'll post some pics one of the next days, to show you how to celebrate christmas - Danish style!

cheers

Christmas this year... full of people, noise and fun. All 27 of us (1 grandma, 2 parents, 4 siblings, 4 inlaws, and 15 neices and nephews) are under one roof. I'll post a picture when I have one. In all of the chaos, I actually have my own room and it's the best in the house... how did I manage that? I'm in my grandmother's closet. :) It's fairly roomy, has a door, it's dark and it's quiet! :) Yay for walk-in closets!!!
I finished my first semester in seminary. I will most likely be there another 2 1/2 years but that's fine with me. Life goes on...
:) I hear a movie on out in the living room. I guess I'll go be social again.
Merry Christmas everyone! I love y'all!!! :)
Love,
Dori
P.s. Write a post on how your Christmas has been; I'll love to hear about it!!

MERRY X-MAS and recipe :-)

this is an amazing photo by Benjamin Brink of the Oregonian. that's Pioneer Courthouse Square reflected in the rim of the tuba. i think this is the coolest photo i've seen in a long time. Happy Belated Thanksgiving you guys!

Image of the Year 2006

i saw this picture on the front cover of the New York Times in August of this year and it has been ingrained in my mind since then. never have i seen such joy, relief, sorrow and exhaustion mingled so intensely on camera film. these soldiers made it over the border just in time for their lives to be spared.
