C-c-c-cold

Ok, so it’s Monday

1. Do you enjoy the cold weather and snow for the holidays?
The cold weather? Not really. I like snow for Christmas, though – I wish it would arrive soon. It’s too dark without it.

2. What is your ideal holiday celebration? How, where, with whom would you celebrate to make things perfect?
With my family, which is what I’m doing. I’d prefer to be at my parents’ rather than my grandparents’, but they can’t travel so we have to come to them. I’ll be missing Martin, but that can’t be helped.

3. Do you do have any holiday traditions?
Of course. Tree, watching “Tre nøtter til Askepott”, eating too much, driving to Trondheim on Christmas Day (or the day after, but it had better be Christmas Day this year).

4. Do you do anything to help the needy?
For Christmas specifically? No. What I do do is sposor two children (one in Mali, one in Indonesia), but that’s year round. As is other things I do for “charity”. Except I tend to buy charity Christmas cards. That’s something, I suppose.

5. What one gift would you like for yourself?
Lars Lerin‘s watercolour of Glasgow Station – currently on display at Oslo Kunstforening (until the 23rd). It’s only 50000 NOK (about 6000 USD)… I’d also like to have Martin there for Christmas. Which is about as unlikely as getting the watercolour. So I’ll settle for a good book.
