Our family is Jewish, but my mom is from Norway, so we celebrate Jul. It is basically Scandinavian Christmas only instead of a jolly fat guy we Norsemen get an angry little gnome that beats people with sticks.


But we do other Christmasy things, like eat cookies.




And with straw stuff.

And miniature figures.

And tiny plastic food bought in Tokyo the month before. (TINY! And so detailed and cute!)





And, of course, a tree.


Tomorrow afternoon we are starting on a road trip to see family for the rest of winter break, so minus a couple scheduled posts things'll be pretty blank here next week. Enjoy your winters and snows and presents! x
