Oslo and Østlandet, Norway - Christmas 2002

(Click on the pictures to enlarge them)

Christmas in Norway.  A time to be with the familiy.  In my case on the farms of my aunts and uncles in the vicinity of the capital Oslo.


The Christmas Tree Hunt

Winter Wonderland is calling.  It is time to fetch the Christmas Tree!

Oh yes! Hi ho hi ho it’s off to fetch-the-tree we go!

 


The Stabbur

The Stabbur (or "The Norwegian Storehouse On Pillars", as my dictionary elegantly translates it..).  Used for storing food.  And during Christmas home for the Christmas Gnomes...


Prinsen.  A good Norwegian horse is fully dressed (furred) in order to enjoy the nice cold witner.

The same goes for small Norwegian lads, fully dressed (here represented by my Nephew and Cousin, sleding away from the Stabbur).

 


The Colors of Winter

The colors of the winter can be very different from day to day.
