Jul is the term used for the Christmas holiday season in Norway. Originally, “jul” was the name of a month in the old Germanic calendar, corresponding roughly to the time from mid-December through mid-January, and the concept of “jul” as a period of time rather than a specific event, prevails in Norway.

Christmas has been lovely, but also a bit stressful, hehe. We ate marvelous food, played with cars with Eirik, opened presents and enjoyed each-others company. Little baby Eirik (soon to be 1) were taking his naps, mashing his food all over the place, pulling Pernille's tail, and also putting a smile on everyone's faces whenever he was up and about.
