Celebrating Christmas in Norway!!!!

It has been for a while that I didn't write in my blog but i was bit "busy". Well, we celebrated Christams with our host family in their farm bit far from Oslo, ca 2hours.we left Oslo, december 23th in the evening.All the family were there and it was nice to be with them. eevn though i was far from my family, i felt okey.
What should i say about the Christams time in Norway, it is so nice that i don't have the right words, may be "Koselig!!"
For Christmas eve, we attended the serive at Ringsaker kirke, an old churh but very beautiful one. For the first time, i saw the church in Norway totally full. children , teenagers and adults. I wish it would be christmas every sunday to see it again!!!
There was anyplace anymore when we came 30 mn before the service started. "jeg er så glad hver jul Kveld", I love this song. we sang it for the service an dbefore dinner for christmas Eve.
After the service, we went home to celebrate Christmas. The most important part of the Norwegian Christmas is may be the time of sharing presents. So many christmas gifs, may be too much at least for me becaus ei was not used to that before. but I think also that Chrsitmas is the best time to show "Love" and to give presents means that the people who gave them though about me and it's so nice to know about that. I received six or seven presents, it was wonderful.

I almost forget the most important thing that I have learnt, "å gå på ski". " it was very nice to learn it but also funny. I went skiing for the first time for Christmas and i can say that it was very special day.because usually in my country, we attend service in church and after time to celebrate Christmas with family. But 2008, i went skiing for the first time and it is also Christams time and it was the first Christmas time for me without my family. A day that i'll always rememebr in the future . I'm looking forward to go skiing again and to fall...
