Christmas Holidays

UHH, Christmas was nice! It was the first year that I spent Christmas Eve at my in-laws, so I was really excited. But before going there I did some card writing and send greetings all over the world. The picture of Björn and the moose (whose name was Heikki and it was from Finland!) was taken at the christmas market of Björns hometown Kassel. They had two huts with Finnish products there and at both places I was asked if I came frome Finland. First I didn't know why, but then it dawned on me that they asked because of my Marimekko bag and my Moomin reflector. Funny, eh?

On december 25th I went to my parents place, being home is always soooo great!! I visited a lot of friends and family and had a really swell time. One day some of our friends came over, among their children is my dads godson. His christmas present was a pair of working pants- the same my dad has!! Isn't that a fantastic idea! His mom told us later, that he did not want to take them off again, not even for bedtime.

At the last day at my parents place my dad build an oven. I don't know if you can see it very clear in the picture, but it is made out of two old trashcans. It worked perfectly!!
