1) What food item was one of your favorites this year - a definite keeper? Mountain Mama came to visit in December and we made lefse. My father has always claimed that you could eat anything wrapped in lefse. This year I followed his lead and actually ate a hot dog wrapped in my favorite Norwegian flatbread made out of leftover mashed potatoes. He's right! It's good. Much better than a cheap supermarket bun. And for those of you who are offended by this, my grandmother saw street vendors in Oslo selling the same basic item.2) Was there a meal or party or a gathering that stands out in your mind from this mose recent holiday season? We had a lovely dinner of fondue with friends on Christmas Eve that ended prematurely when the BugMan said he needed to go. While his system totally got the better of him on the way home, he did enjoy the Christmas meal the next day. This was good!
3) Were you involved in a jaw-dropper gift? Were you the giver or recipient or an on-looker? I'm skipping this one. Not sure why, just skipping it.
4) Was there at least one moment where you experienced true worship? Yes, on the 26th. God is sneaky.
5) What is at least one thing you want to make sure you do next year? Actually put decorations on the tree. I managed to get the tree up, but no ornaments made it up out of the basement. It was that kind of year at our house.
BONUS: What is something you absolutely must remember to do differently... or not at all! Listen to the Chick when she advises me to let go of things that aren't that important. Hold on to the things that are.
