Happy Holidays to @Lizzie, Quincy and all the others who happen to read this post.
My husband will have to work during holidays this year, so I have joined him at the Narvik pilot station; a mix ture of a luxury airbnb and an upmarket barchelor pad 🙂
Pre-Christmas dinner with daughter and her friends in Bergen had to be arranged before my departure featuring one Dutch, one German and one from a different part of the country with different Christmas traditions. The result, a jumble to maintain a traditional feel to the meal and to accommodate two picky eaters.
White Christmas and Polar Night it is the norm in the north, winter tourists chasing the Northern Lights and hoping to enjoy some snow related activities. I suppose this part of the world can be pretty exotic to visitors and a real contrast to where @Fred is located.
Contrary to my expectations, I do have some guests during holidays. They were supposed to arrive on Christmas Day, but their flights got cancelled and now they will arrive two days later poor things. So on Jan 1st is back to guests and a turnover while daughter and co-host takes a well deserved holiday.
