We've stopped using alarm clocks. When the kids wake up in the mornings, usually a bit earlier than we'd wish for, they jump into our bed to cosy. This morning, the oldest kid had just curled up when he asked "Is there more than one Santa Claus?". Smart kid, he had been doing some thinking during the night. Marjo took an easy way out and answered that the issue is a bit complicated. We've organised for Santa Claus to visit tomorrow afternoon. He may have to answer tricky questions.
We'll be celebrating a traditional Finnish Christmas at home with Marjo's parents and sister. On Boxing Day we've made it a tradition to cook pork ribs, a Norwegian-style Christmas dinner. The visit at the butcher is always exciting. We need to give very specific instructions how to cut out the piece of meat and not to make it into a Finnish-style ham. It usually works out well.
I have another secret to share. Most of the hair of my body fell off after I started the Camptosar treatment last summer. My eyelashes on the other hand, took off to the other direction and grew wild. Weird stuff. Marjo will do a Christmas eye-lash cut tonight. By the way, the hair on my head has actually slowly grown back and I haven't been bald since autumn.
Merry Christmas!

Eye lash trimming sounds rather scary. Odd squestion coming up here, but what's max length if Marjo let them grow unrestricted? Are we talking slightly reduced field of vision or equestrian eye lash length. Nonetheless very freaky and a sure hit at childrens parties (...and maybe at drag queen festival ;-)
All well here in Stavanger. Little guy growing fast. I've just started back at work after a six week paternity leave (..a rewarding experience....almost attained mummy popularity level;-)
Entire family wishing you and your loved ones all the best for the New year.
Big hug from Johan & rest of rabble
God jul og godt nyttår!
Hilsen Aase, Steinar og de fire små.
