God Jul

 

 

When the snow is covering our path,

And the houses grows too cold,

We all meet in our family house.

 

For days we cook and bake,

Ribs and chocolate cookies,

Potato's and Christmas bread.

 

And in the snowy morning,

Of the twentyfourth,

We see whats in our stockings.

 

Mother sets a feast of candy,

Right on the kitchen table,

And all morning we eat.

 

When the afternoon comes,

Precisely at six'o clock,

We start the fears of dinner.

 

When we are full of food,

We roll to the sofa's and-

There we cheer with wine.

 

At eight o'clock gifts!

One person calls out names,

And we all watch as they unwrap.

 

When it is all over we cheer again,

With vodka mum has made,

Tasting like oranges, yum.

 

And on the twentyfifth,

We wake up with -

A bloody hangover.

 

 

Author notes

Prompt: Christmas traditions.

This is the tradition of the Norwegians, we eat, drink, open gifts, drink, pass out and start again the second christmas day with a trip to the local bar that is always stuffed.
Keep in mind, this is only the local traditions of the North Norwegian people, those who life south and west is a little more refined then us, they don't pass out

          You get used to it after a while, tho I still can't stand the taste of vodka so I always mix it out with something with a lot of flavor.
