GLÆDELIG JUL TIL ALLE

Dette er et "automatisk" indlæg. Medens det udgiver sig selv, nyder Uglemor julemiddagen sammen med alle Ugleboets indbyggere, Storesøster, den lille Løve, den lille Ædelsten, Storebror og Trolden, der alle er kommet hjem til jul. 

Lige nu er gåsen i ovnen, Skribenten hentede den i går nede på gården, den er stoppet med æbler og svesker af egen avl, rødkålen står og luner, den er også hjemmelavet, men ikke hjemmedyrket.
     Ugleungerne pynter træet med hjælp af storesøster, der er hjemme i julen.
Alle julegaverne, der i år er færre, men til gengæld større, er pakket ind, parat til at komme under træet. Kalenderlys og adventskrans brænder for at indhente sig selv og Trolden spiller på klaveret for os.
     Måske farer Uglemor rundt og leder efter en enkelt gave, der er blevet væk.
Vi ser alle frem til juletræ og gaver, og til at finde barnet i krybben.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY

This is an auto-post. While it is posting itself the advent candles are burning to catch up. The goose is in the oven, the Writer got it yesterday from a nearby farm, it is stuffed with prunes and homegrown apples. We also eat red cabbage cooked with vinegar, redcurrant jam, sugar, salt and spices. This concoction is heating and the potatoes are boiling. Later some of them will be glazed in honey.

The Owlets are decorating the tree, helped by their big sister and her children, and Trolli is playing the piano. MotherOwl is searching for the last of the presents to wrap. I always find such good gifts during the year, and then hide them where curious Owlets do not look. Often I forget where that special place was, and some years gifts has totally disappeared, not showing up until midsummer.

After eating all this good stuff, we'll dance around the tree singing Christmas carols and hymns. Then the gifts will be opened, one at a time with everyone looking, it takes a long time in our big family. Then we'll eat dessert - risalamande with cherry sauce and hope for Trolli to get the hidden almond, as the gift is a book he wants. (Donald Duck Christmas Classics - From all of us to all of you). Then we all look at, play with and admire gifts, eat some more candy, look longingly in the crib where no Christ child is yet to be seen. He is not there until midnight. Christmas day we'll go to mass, talk with friends and wish them a blessed Christmas.

We look forward to our christmas tree and all the gifts and to see the baby in the manger.
