Christmas Eve is usually very relaxed, cozy and quiet for us. We always try to create a snugly atmosphere with lit candles and warm tea or good wine (or both), and then we talk, listen to the radio or read stories. :-)







The rabbit also likes it when we create a comfy atmosphere. The more she is at ease the closer she will sit with you.












And when she is really happy she will groom what ever is close (but preferably living beeings).

Here she is grooming toes. And let me tell you, rabbit tongues are very soft in contrast to cat tongues. ;-)
















A view of the gifts for my father and lit candles.
















I painted this picture for my father. It got done the morning I left and turned out quite different than I had intended. (Painting is new for me and I am still experimenting, but I love it and wish I had more time and inspiration.)

My father liked the picture so much that he hung it up without a frame. It needs to get a frame, though. The frame will balance it and make it look "finished".






My father had a ton of gifts for me. It's been quite a while since I got so much for Christmas.

















Here they are unwrapped. In the back you see the olive oil and green tea. In the second row you have a metal cablecar (which actually works! I can almost not wait to try it out.), and an oldfashioned Christmas bauble in form of a sail boat. It doesn't look christmasy at all and is very delicate and beautiful. Then there is very good cocoa and the best nougat bread spread ever! :-) In the front lies a candle made from beeswax. I love beeswax candles, but I havn't found them in Denmark, yet.


These pretty turquoise earring were in the 25th package of my Christmas calendar. I have hardly any earrings which are not entirely silver colored. I am looking forward to waering them.











These stencils are a gift from Gitte. They will make a lot more sense once I have backtracked a little more.













These books are from my mom and arrived a few days ago. My mother wanted to test ordering books via amazon and called me to guide her though an order and decided to order something for me.

From the Christmas and birthday money my mom had sent earlier I bought an 8GB memory chip for my camera. (muahaha!)









This is the tea cup I gave myself for Christmas. I bought it at the Tea Lounge in Mannheim on the way here. Ireally like these kind of cups. They are very good to warm your hands and have a comfortable form. Terese brought one home from Japan, but unfortunately it broke.













A very nice and cozy Christmas Eve with my Dad, the rabbit and the cat! :-)
