Ok, so last Christmas Eve.
00:00:03:16
00:00:04:47
What does that day look like for us.
00:00:04:47
00:00:06:03
I take my time getting up.
00:00:06:03
00:00:08:35
Then I help my mom with the cooking, the chopping, you know, with preparing everything for the evening.
00:00:08:35
00:00:10:37
We slice food and get things ready.
00:00:10:37
00:00:11:29
Then we eat.
00:00:11:29
00:00:15:07
Then we decorate the tree, make it look pretty.
00:00:15:07
00:00:15:47
After that I take a shower.
00:00:15:47
00:00:17:13
We have to take turns, mom, dad, and I.
00:00:17:13
00:00:20:30
After we shower, we sit down together for coffee and cake.
00:00:20:30
00:00:23:10
We take our time and enjoy it.
00:00:23:10
00:00:25:12
Later, my brother joins us.
00:00:25:12
00:00:28:16
Then we head out to church together.
00:00:28:16
00:00:31:13
Well, I have to sit through that for 45 minutes.
00:00:31:13
00:00:32:43
It means nothing to me. It’s boring.
00:00:32:43
00:00:34:42
But mainly I just stare into space.
00:00:34:42
00:00:37:36
I see a few people, neighbors, whom I have known since I was a child.
00:00:37:36
00:00:39:32
I watch them to see how they’ve changed.
00:00:39:32
00:00:42:31
When the service is over we go home.
00:00:42:31
00:00:44:40
Then we serve dinner.
00:00:44:40
00:00:46:36
We eat together and chat.
00:00:46:36
00:00:49:46
At some point, we’ve eaten so much that we feel stuffed.
00:00:49:46
00:00:52:36
Then we play the usual game of dice.
00:00:52:36
00:00:57:49
If you roll a six you bring over a present and announce for whom it is.
00:00:57:49
00:01:00:47
For example, I’ll bring over a present that is from my mom for my dad, so I give it to him.
00:01:00:47
00:01:02:44
He opens it so we can all see what it is.
00:01:02:44
00:01:05:09
Then we continue taking turns rolling the dice.
00:01:05:09
00:01:08:49
Some years my mom has to get up all the time to get a present because she rolls so many sixes.
00:01:08:49
00:01:11:12
Another year, I have to get up a lot because I roll so many sixes.
00:01:11:12
00:01:13:28
One year it’s my dad who ha to do it. It’s like that sometimes.
00:01:13:28
00:01:16:27
There’s also been a year where I just had to go get presents once or twice.
00:01:16:27
00:01:17:37
I was rolling the dice again and again but nothing happened.
00:01:17:37
00:01:19:41
I even rolled them three times in a row but didn’t get a six.
00:01:19:41
00:01:22:11
Sometimes it doesn’t work out with the dice.
00:01:22:11
00:01:24:48
We usually play until about 11 pm.
00:01:24:48
00:01:27:09
We play for a long time, one and a half or two hours.
00:01:27:09
00:01:29:02
We’re not in a hurry to roll the dice and chat a lot while playing.
00:01:29:02
00:01:31:01
We discuss which presents were special.
00:01:31:01
00:01:32:05
That’s how we do it.
00:01:32:05
00:01:34:42
At about 11 pm I feel tired and exhausted.
00:01:34:42
00:01:38:26
After all, I was up all day running around busily. So I’m exhausted.
00:01:38:26
00:01:39:23
00:01:39:23
00:01:42:37
Asks about how the Christmas tree is decorated.
00:01:42:37
00:01:43:45
Yes, I do that together with my mom.
00:01:43:45
00:01:44:39
00:01:44:39
00:01:50:39
We decorate it with silver, red, yellow, and green ornaments.
00:01:50:39
00:01:54:20
We hang them using these, um, these kinda strings.
00:01:54:20
00:01:56:16
They are silver and we hang them all over the tree.
00:01:56:16
00:01:57:22
We also have a few very old baubles.
00:01:57:22
00:01:59:36
There’s one that is 50 years old, or rather from the 50s.
00:01:59:36
00:02:01:27
It’s a really old bauble, we hang it somewhere near the top.
00:02:01:27
00:02:03:16
We also hang up some stars.
00:02:03:16
00:02:06:05
On top we put an ornate tree topper.
00:02:06:05
00:02:08:05
Everything’s shiny and glistening. Yeah.
