Hej guys,

Thursday & just a few days left to Christmas eve the. Christmas is a holiday for everyone, although maybe more special for all children. We used to make it big & beautiful when my children were small. As if I could fulfill all their dreams & hopes with a beautiful decorated home for Christmas. As if all beauty could protect them, take care of them, be kind to them…such as any parent desires for their children. We made everything in the evening when they had gone to bed & it was pure joy to see their faces when they woke up to a total makeover. Someone once said that beauty makes people kind & considerate. There may be some truth in it. Today, they are young men and still look forward to Christmas in the same way as when they were small.

Believe it or not, but they still write wish lists, plays Christmas music to breakfast last week before Christmas, watching Christmas movie almost every evening in December, puts all the gifts under the Christmas tree and … they just have to open one present on Christmas morning right after breakfast…as we did when they were small, just to keep them calm. Traditions are sometimes hard to break. Traditions are hard to break, especially when they’re nice and reminds about fond memories & experiences. Once in a while it’s nice to be small again, at least for Christmas. Here’s some nice images to get you into the Christmas spirit…this Thursday – leading up to Christmas, enjoy!
