Aa jul med din glede og barnlige lyst,
vi oensker deg alle velkommen !
Det er - 3 grader og glatt i Arendal i dag. Men ! Sneen ligger, og det haaper vi det fortsetter med til DaniMani ankommer.
Jeg har chatta litt med Annette i dag. Vi skravla og utveksla julegaveideer. Det er godt med gode venner.
Og, er det ikke rart ? Rett etterpaa ringte Monica, som er i Oslo paa shopping, og ville vite veien fra Steen & Stroem til Stadtholdergaarden. Jeg sier det igjen - Stadtholdergaarden er udiskutabelt det beste stedet for lunch i Oslo.
Og jeg har snakket med Lottemor. Som har sendt meg oppskrift paa vannkringler. Og ellers er den soesteste, beste lillesoestera noen kan ha :)
Sissel ringte i gaar. Vi hadde en lang, koselig prat. Hei Sissel ! Send bilde av utelysene da !!
Martti Ahtisaari blir tildelt Nobels Fredspris i morgen. For sitt arbeid med aa loese internasjonale konflikter. Noe han har gjort i over tredve aar og paa flere kontinenter. Da nevner jeg i fleng - Namibia, Aceh i Indonesia og Kosovo. Han har ogsaa bidratt konstruktivt i Irak og Nord Irland. Jeg hoerte paa nyhetene i dag at han faar over tredve henvendelser hver eneste dag, om hjelp til konfliktloesning.
Bare til opplysning kan jeg jo nevne at Fredsprisen er en av fem priser som har blitt delt ut aarlig siden 1901. Den deles ut den 10 Desember, som er dagen da Alfred Nobel doede.
Jeg tenkte jeg skulle dele en julesnutt jeg har faatt fra en venninne i Irland, med dere. Eivind, jeg skulle hilse fra Eithne !
Foer dere leser den; i Irland setter de ikke en stjerne i toppen av treet, men en engel. Det er en like fastankret tradisjon hos dem, som stjerna er hos oss.
A Christmas Story for people having a bad day:
When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas pressure.
Then Mrs Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more.
When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where.
Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered.
Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drank all the cider and hidden the liquor. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom.
Just then the doorbell rang, and irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree.
The angel said very cheerfully, 'Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?'
And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.
