Norway is one of the countries on our ‘to visit’ wishlist. Especially this time of the year must be a wonderful time to spend your Christmas holidays in Norway.
Norway is known for its breathtaking nature. Its mountains, fjords and waters, its snowy winter landscape, the Northern lights and so many more.
Let me show you some pictures of Norwegian nature.

If I had the chance to spend the holidays with my family in a Norwegian mountain cabin, then I would make it comfortable for all the family members.

And while everyone is outside, I would prepare dinner and set the Christmas table.

Maybe I could bake fresh bread in the oven…

…or I could search for typical Norwegian food receipts in the cabin found cookbook.

I might think I would try the ‘deer antlers’ cookies.

After baking time, I would relax in a comfortable fur-covered outdoor chair to enjoy the beautiful mountains…

…and I would place the wooden stools around the fire outside.

And when evening falls and all children are tired of playing in the snow,…

…I would invite all family members to go inside…

And finally we would all gather around the table to have Christmas dinner.

At the end of the evening I would be pretty sure that everyone would have a peaceful night in the beautiful decorated cabin bedrooms.

I like to share with you some (there are so many more!) of my favorite Norwegian interior design related websites and blogs :
And I do have to say that I still miss one of the most fabulous blogs ever, the blog ‘The Essence of The Good Life’ of my Norwegian friend Lene! I do hope she will ever start posting again! Fortunately we can follow Lene on ‘The Essence of The Good Life’ FB page here.You will fall in love with Norway, visiting Lene’s page.
To all of you and especially to all my Norwegian blogger colleagues and readers ‘ GOD JUL’ !
