God Jul !/ Hyvaa jouloua! / norwegian for ā€˜merry christmas!’

Merry Christmas to all the scandinavians out there…hope you enjoy your day! Sanna (my brother’s fiancee) just called from finland (which we call ā€˜suomiland’ for fun, hehe) and they’re all having a great time, going for a horseride and then hot chocolate and opening their christmas presents. Over here we’re all getting ready for santy- I have one more present to buy, I’ll go over to my friends’ later today and we’ll exchange gifts. Tonight we’re having a family party (always non-alcoholic) with lots of food, sing christmas carols and just have fun. :slight_smile:

Tomorrow morning we’re all going to wake up earlyish, open our gifts to each other, go to Mass, then we’re coming home and opening our santa presents. :slight_smile:

Then it’s turkey time!

How about the rest of you guys? What do you do?

EDIT: Cool pictures squib, reminds me so much of Grim Fandago! (love that game, btw)

My schedule for X-mas.
I’ll start with watching Burton’s Nightmare before Xmas (again) tonight and a few other things on TV. The evening is mine. Didn’t have an evening off for days and won’t have one in the coming days either and work’s been stressfully.
On Xmas day I’ll visit my sister and nephew along with my parents out of town. I’ll probably spend all day entertaining my nephew (he’s 6) and showing him the latest Quicktime trailers. He’s gonna laugh so much seeying the 2nd Ice Age trailer ;). We’ll swap presents and also make a nice simple dinner and we’ll spend the night over there.
On boxing day we’ll head on back home for my mums birthday and another nice dinner.

Peace on earth
Make CG not war
Merry X-mas to everyone !! :bounce:

Squib, thanks for the link, btw if you like that kinda gloom violin music, be sure to check out some of Saint Saens Violin compositions, I especially like Rondo & Capriccio and La Dance Macabre… intend to learn how to play those eventually… Btw Lacuna Coil is somewhat like Nightwish, hence the ā€œbe sure to check it outā€ :slight_smile:

Edit Check nr 5! Trying to dl it to check how it’s performed, but I love this song… Great inspiration catcher and reminds me of Danny Elfman’s gloom violin pieces… love it love it

anyone here know who this is and who made it?

Looks a little like Apollon, but could also be Amor, allthough amor is usually depicted as a little boy :confused:
Just found in in my bookmarks so I don’t even know what site I got it from.

Merry Christmas everybody! And thanks for the card Urg! :slight_smile:

I went snowboarding for a few days with some friends, and even though my body feels like I’ve been beaten with sticks for a day it still feels good to have gone out of town for a while. :slight_smile:
We went to Whistler which is a place about 100 km / 60 miles north of Vancouver and apparently a very big ski/snowboard place.
One of my friends got us a deal and when we got to the hotel we also got upgraded because the place was overbooked, man the room was awesome! Fireplace, beds for everyone instead of couches, washer/dryer/bath, you name it.

We only went up the mountain for two days; the first day we took a lesson and the second was for having fun. :D

Here are some pics...

Fun at the train museum which we passed on the way.

The beginner’s area and one of my friends and the snowboard school instructor in the foreground.

A Brazillian Stormtrooper.

Me, contemplating the world and it’s boundless mysteries.

Shared a room with a slovakian (bratislavia) girl for a few days! I guess some things just stick with you… that’s all the slovakian I can remember for now, maybe some more will pop up later, heh.

Merry christmas all! I got some cool gifts, gift vouchers and a great panoramic photo book of chicago (which i love). Also camera memory and a few other things…
