We ate some tasty "sveler" by Minibakeriet and had "gløgg", and bought some Christmas decorations.

The second weekend in December we stayed at my mother-in-law's place, and went Førde to do some Christmas shopping. A very cozy Xmas weekend with good food, Xmassy TV series like "Hjem til jul" and "Merry Happy Whatever" and movies, plus finding some new Christmas stuff and presents. 

The weekend after we didn't go anywhere, just celebrating Saint Lucy's Day with saffron buns and the movie "I'll Be Home for Christmas" on December 13th, a tradition we've had for years - buns and said movie that is!  
We were also out and about, having dinner at China Resturant Chen and just enjoying a weekend of more Christmas cheer :D
