Our family is American, of Scandinavian descent and I am so often surprised by how very many of our common family celebrations have their root in our Scandinavian ( especially Norwegian) heritage. It does seem we can not ever really lose our heritage, even if we do not know it, it does make itself known in other ways. Love your blog. I read it often.KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-68199411167899803352009-12-10T08:45:56.444+01:002009-12-10T08:45:56.444+01:00I've never seen her before.

My kids now recognize our little "Emma" - that's how we call her - and she is with us in the kitchen from the first Advent until the end of the Christmas season. They also know that it’s “deda” who bought her for us and that makes her even more special. I just love her and every time I look at her I remember very well the day our dad bought one for each of his two girls... It was a very special day that will stay in our memories for ever.dvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305306545758220773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-88684852455119618702008-12-09T11:59:00.000+01:002008-12-09T11:59:00.000+01:00Diane, thank you; yes, it was a lovely day and is ...Diane, thank you; yes, it was a lovely day and is a lovely gift.;))<BR/><BR/>Hilary, that is so true; she does have a glow that makes everything brighter.
