Wierd family traditions

I love family Christmas traditions, like going to see the Nutcracker, and baking cookies. But every family has a wierd tradition.... In Denmark we celebrate Christmas in the evening the 24th, and the 23th is called "Little Christmas eve". On little Christmas eve, we ALWAYS, and I really mean always, eat hot chocolate-soup. It is basicly just hot chocolate in a bowl, eaten with a spoon. It is really quite wierd, but if we have something else for dinner, it is just wrong! What is your family's wierd traditions??

It is a beautiful day and I can't see it...

This is one of the most beautiful videos on youtube ever!! I always have tears rolling down cheeks, when I watch it...
   I wish there were more of those people like the woman. More people that help others, even though they aren't like them. I also feel so sad for all the people who are blind, or any other kind of handicapped. God bless them. That reminds me of the Christmas song "Christmas is coming".

"Christmas is coming, goose is getting fat
Please put a penny in the old mans hat!
If you havn't got a penny a haypenny will do,
If you havn't got a haypenny,
Then God bless you!"

I'm so thankful that me and all my family can see all the beautiful days!

Today it was the last day at school, before the holidays! So now I have Christmasbreak! Yaaaay! I am going to or summer residence (or know it is winter residence?). I have spent Christmas' here every year since I was born. It is an old farm, with two houses and a garage, all in white with loads of garden around it. I love being there, it just makes me feel home. Actually I lived there just when I was born, but it was only 1 year, from when I was 0-1. It is never really Christmas until I get there. All the baking of cookies, decorating and caroling, is really just the best.

Huggies and kissies,

(Un)Happy Christmas?

There are big expectations when it is Christmas-time. Everybody are supposed to be happy and joyfull, and have a wonderful cozy time with their families. But every year you almost always get just a little bit disapointed, because nobody can live up to the high demands. Every family has it's traditions, and if you break them or do them just a little bit wrong, everyone gets irretated. Christmas is also a stressed time. All the foods and gifts and decorations has to be perfect. But nothing can be perfect. 
   People can also feel alone on Christmas, if they haven't got a family. And sadness is also turned up a bit in the supposed to be best month of the year, December. When you have to be happy, it is always harder. When you try to fake being happy, you just get even more sad... And then everything just shatters to peices. 
   If you are one of those people feeling sad, unloved and lonely, remember, I love you, and send you loads of giant christmas hugs. And most of all: It is okay to be sad, because Christmas is also a time for honesty!

Love straight from my heart to yours!

Nutcracker

Yesterday I went to see the Royal Danish Ballet perform Balanchine's version of The Nutcracker. I didn't really like the new costumes and scenography that was made for this ballet. And the dancers weren't the best, since most of the solos were danced by corps members. But I kind of understand that. The Nutcracker must be a good ballet for the artistic director to see how corps members deal with solos, because the parts are quite small.
   One thing I always love is the music! Tchaikovsky sure was a genius! I'm almost always humming the Waltz of the Flowers, or Little Overture. Going to see Nutcracker also made me in such a Christmas spirit! The feeling I get when the ratking, Clara and the nutcracker fighting, and when Sugar Plum dances with her prince, and when Dewdrop does her balances. I just feel like Christmas is officially here. .. There is really nothing like the happiness you get when it time for Jesus' birthday ;)

Sugarplums, dewdrops and candycanes,

Life in Dance

I just bought a new ballet book, in this tiny teeny, dusty bookstore. The book is called "Life In Dance" by no other than...... DARCEY BUSSELL! Looove her!!! It is kind of an autobiography thing about her dance life, she wrote it in 1998, so it isn't so up to date, but so what? I love how it describes how she got into dance, and what she thinks of everything.
   It must be wonderful to do something you love so much, and then when people have seen you, they want to read a book aout how you did it. That truely must warm you heart!

Dance, dance, dance!
Kisses,

Important things in life

Today was the last day of ballet classes this year. We litterally danced around the christmas tree. It was also kind of sad too, because I just love being at the studio with my wonderful friends. And it is one of the most important things in my life. What is one thing is your life, that you love and is very important for you? Leave a comment :D

Hugs,
