Happy New Year!

The calendar is now showing 2008 and a new year has begun. I am sure it will be a year where we can learn and experience much. What it brings I do not know, but I am ready;)

But this post is not going to be about this year, I will write some words about the old, about my Christmas holiday.I have spent much time with my family, both small family and larger. One of my favourite days of every year, is the day my grandma has here yearly family party, 26 of December. Then we are together around 40 uncles, aunts, cousins and children, we stay together for many hours, eating, talking and playing games, this year we played Risk.

I also spend at lot time with friends, visiting them, play games, watch movies, hang out football and much more. And at this time of year, almost everyone is at home, so you meet so many that you haven’t seen for a while.

I played in two football tournaments, one with Couzins, where we got to the quarter final, and one I played for Godøy 3 in a local tournament in the “Kommune” we ended second. So I was happy with those results.

There is also two big happenings for the youth at the church/bedehus, IUF-festen and New-year party, and it was fun to be at both.

I have really enjoyed these weeks at home, and I have hade time to do the things I wanted to do, and more. It was of course a little specially, since last year I celebrated Christmas in Uganda. New Year I celebrated in Nairobi in Kenya, now one year after there is big disturbance after the elections and many people has gotten killed or injured. Not a good ending or a star on a year, so the people living there will be in my thought and prayers.
