just came home from spending the weekend in Hønefoss, where they have a lot of snow, and now there are no snow outside :( no white xmas this year either
sad to hear it... i don't know if we will have white new year or not yet... (we have our xmas on january 7, and it's a religious thing, so we don't celebrate it like you do it in europe, but we use xmas trees and presents as a part of new year meeting celebration)
ortodox and some catolics do it as well... they use the Julian calendar to celebrate this date... and since religion was mainly forbidden during the soviet period but people got use to the way xmas was celebrated, the xmas artefacts have been moved and become a part of New year celebration. That why we have it different :)
i took over 300 pictures during the wedding, but most of the pictures are crap, because of low lighting and my poor knowledge about camera settings. maybe i do a post about it, but i have to ask the people in the pictures first
