So sorry that I haven't updated very frequently lately! It's been so busy these last few weeks, but it's all starting to calm down now. I have baked lots of cookies, Husband has chopped wood for the fire, we have watched the snow come and go again, and tonight we're listening to Christmas music and decorating the trea.

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Thank you so much for reading my blog, and for all the lovely comments you make. I really, really appreciate each one!

The perfect box for Christmas treats!

I have always loved Elsa Beskow's books, and to me this picture represents the perfect Christmas. I've got my book of Christmas carols out, and I sit down to play and sing them every now and again!

Rocky road! I've been so busy these last few weeks, and I'm so grateful for Christmas treats that are easy to make..

I always light lots of candles at this time of year, to try and suck up as much light as i possibly can. I even light candles at breakfast in the morning. It gives a little warmth as well, in the darkest of mornings.

I love Christmas trees; the smell of the tree once it's been brought into the house, the way it looks with the lights on... In my family we've had a long tradition of going to the farm to pick out and cut down our own one. It's always great fun, except for the couple of years that we've been too ill to do it, and exciting to see who gets the best tree! I'm so looking forward to doing it this year with Husband.

Christmas in London is wonderful with all its Christmas markets, Christmas lights everywhere, mulled wine, Love Actually, mince pies and carols. But nothing beats proper Norwegian Christmas and all its lovely traditions; advent- tv, baking cookies, making candles, gløgg, marzipan, snow, nisser, making candy, watching Three Wishes for Cinderella, hearing Sølvguttene sing on tv, big family parties and everything else.

Which tradition is your favourite?
