Today is the day

Today is the day:

For gifting people we (I) love with gifts we have made/bought for them, with love.
The day that we (I) hope all gifts are well received.
The day that we all dress up in our finest clothes.
The day we eat so much nice food that we barely can move...
The day that I hope for some surprises for me...
The day that all children, in all ages, should go happy to bed.

Thank you for visiting my blog, I wish you a happy holiday!

Vi tenner fire lys i kveld
og lar dem brenne ned
for lengsel, glede, håp og fred,
men mest allikevel
for fred på denne lille jord
der menneskene bor.
