I will try to tell a little about our Christmas traditions, every day, when I show my entry for Beccy's competition.
Day 1:
When do people, in the North, celebrate Christmas December 24th?
The Nordic countries differ from the rest of the world by celebrating the birth of Jesus on December 24.
The Nordic custom dates back to the time before we all got watches.
A day began at sunset instead of midnight.
In Scandinavia, we have stuck to the fact that Christmas therefore begins in the evening of 24 December.
On Saturday morning we were blessed with 4 people coming from the church and helping to get the garden ready for winter. I was behind in preparing the garden for winter, when I broke my wrist.
The weather is unstable, so it is impossible to know what it will be like in 2 weeks, when I will get the cast off and slowly start to do something again. I am grateful to belong to a church where people help each other. That's what it's all about: kindness, care and love for each other.
I have found that it is easier to give than to receive. But if no one received - how could we serve each other?

Jeg vil forsøge at fortælle lidt om vores juletraditioner, hver gang, jeg viser mit bidrag til Beccys konkurrence.
Dag 1!
Norden adskiller sig fra resten af verden ved at fejre Jesu fødsels d. 24. december.
Den nordiske skik stammer fra tiden før vi alle fik ure.
En dag begyndte ved solnedgang i stedet for som nu ved midnat.
I Skandinavien har vi holdt fast ved at julen, derfor begynder om aftenen d. 24 Dec.
Lørdag formiddag var vi velsignede med at der kom 4 fra kirken og hjalp med at gøre haven vinterklar. Jeg manglede nogle ting, da jeg brækkede mit håndled.
Vejret er ustabilt, så det er ikke til at vide, hvordan det er om 2 uger, hvor jeg får gibsen af, og så småt kan begynde at lave noget igen.
Jeg er taknemmelig for at tilhøre en menighed hvor man hjælper hinanden. Det er for hvad det drejer sig om: venlighed, omsorg og kærlighed til hinanden.
Jeg har fundet ud af, at det er lettere at give, end at modtage. Men hvis ingen modtog - hvordan kunne vi så tjene hinanden?
Fabulous card Conny, I love the background you created for the little gnome... he looks right at home in the forest. You did a wonderful job with the colouring too, perfect choices for Christmas!
