Absolutely nothing has happened today. Apart from another three-pronged visit. (I don’t know if I used that word correctly there). But that didn’t last long. Other than that it has just been TV and computer. And sleeping, too much I’m afraid. Oh well. I just want tomorrow to get here. I think it will be a nice christmas celebration. I hope so anyway.

While we’re waiting for the prese.. for the celebration I mean, here is a little video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=TQALEANuY10. Outtakes from the recording sessions for the christmas card. As I said, it’s not easy getting the goats to do what I want. So it took a few tries. Here’s the chance to see more of me in a santa hat. And some fun with the goats. Like when the buck goes up and sniffs in the face of the camera. That’s one of my favourite things in videos, when the goats go up to investigate the camera like that. And you’ll see how a stern look from me gets him out of the way too. Jittery fellow indeed.

Now I’m going to go put out some milk and cookies for santa. Or, for whoever happens to be wearing a santa’s hat tonight…

Cheers!

Notalotta happened today. Apart from when I had a visit by three people at once. That’s alotta persons in a small appartment like this.

I have mentioned that my dad’s brother is spending christmas with us. He came today. And since he happens to have a car (we sold ours when I was.. 15? Or thereabouts) they all decided to make a shopping trip to Germany. That is a tradition amongst many danes. Go to Germany and buy cheap booze and candy. I was invited on the trip, but spending hours in a car isn’t my idea of fun. So instead I got them to haul back some goods for me…

Look at the booty I scored! That’s going to last me at least.. oh 4-5 days! Hah. Yes. It’s not many years ago that you couldn’t buy cans of soda in Denmark at all. They were outlawed, because of our excellent bottle recycling system. Nowadays you can get them here, but they’re just way too expensive. Once in a while I’ll buy one as a special treat, but with my addiction I would be ruined if I bought all my cola in cans.

Nevermind, now I have cans for a while. It’s like christmas come early. Although I had to pay for them myself of course. But it’s like Santa’s shipping service, straight from Germany via the North Pole.

Actually, according to Danish lore, Santa lives in Greenland. But I never was good with geography.

Oh, and in case you were counting, the three visitors were my dad, his brother and my brother.

Only two days till christmas come on time, now. I’m actually looking forward to it. I’m not a huge christmas fan, but it will be nice to celebrate with the family. My first christmas as a visitor. That will be a little odd. But on the other hand, guests don’t have to do the dishes do they? It’ll be the best christmas ever.
