I dag er det julaften og 17. mai på en gang

In Norway, we have an expression like the title - it means 17. Of May and Christmas Eve at the same time - something very good in other words.
Today we have that 17. Of May (our national day) and Christmas Eve (Eurovision contest). Eva gave me the idea in the first comment :)  It is very suitable to present our Christmas-house today!

When we have visitors, we often take them to Drøbak. It is a lovely little village with great shops, markets and places to visit and small streets to walk.

Of course, we had to visit "Julehuset" - "The Christmas house". They have Christmas all through the year and children around the world write to "Julenissen" in Drøbak.

You will probably find more about the visit to Norway on Jannekes blog.
