Merry Christmas!

I would like to wish all the readers of my blog a Merry Christmas! Usually I would take some the time to explain a bit about the traditions of a typical Polish Christmas and explain the food that is usually served, for example, that there should be no less than 12 dishes and that no meat is allowed (only fish). However, I haven’t really been celebrating Christmas in a traditional way for the past couple of years, so I will keep that for another time.

As you might have noticed, my parents and I are not really a traditional Polish family, not only because I was born in Norway, but also because we have all dedicated our lives to traveling. Therefore, since the past couple of years, we have had other plans for Christmas. Last year, for instance, I went to Oman together with my mom and my aunt, where we really had an amazing Christmas time! I will write about that trip and Oman in general on a later occasion, because that really is one of my favorite countries.

This year, however, my mom and I are going to Poland for 3 days to celebrate Christmas. Again, we are not going to do it in a traditional way, so we will not be visiting family members (who by the way live in a different part of Poland). Instead, we will be staying at the Sheraton Hotel in a place called Sopot. We have stayed at the Sheraton hotel plenty times, and we go to Sopot regularly. However, we usually go there during the summer time, because in the end it is a beach town! We have never celebrated Christmas there, so we are looking extremely much forward to the Christmas gala and the buffet at the hotel. The menu looks very promising! Now let’s just hope there will be some fun people to meet!

I will of course blog about this 3-day Christmas trip and keep you all updated! Once again, I wish you a merry Christmas and I hope you will all have a wonderful holiday! I am off to the airport!
