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. |
