Most Norwegians celebrate Christmas on Dec 24th with family and friends, lots of good food - and of course visits from 🎅Santa and gifts.

🇳🇴🇺🇦 Happy last Tuesday before Christmas❣️
😄 Met this guy outside the toy store at the mall yesterday - he said I should give you all his regards and tell you that he's finished this year's list of both the nice and the naughty ones.
🤔 I wonder which one he wrote my name on...

The popular 40-meter-high Ferris wheel at Vinterland 🎄Christmas Market in Oslo is clearly visible after dark - and from the top of it you have a great view of central parts of the capital!

A white Helleborus - or Christmas rose as most people call it in Norway.
The plant blooms with large white flowers around Christmas time in Southern Europe, where it grows wild - unlike in Norway where the plant is grown as an ornamental plant.

Green lawn and not a single flake of snow.

A flower for you on a Friday - a beautiful purple azalea.
😄 In the language of flowers, giving an azalea is associated with the expression of true feelings, especially those related to love, confession of affection and admiration...
