Christmas

This is the first time I've ever spent christmas outside of Norway or without any of my family members. I can't really say that I feel to much of the Christmas spirits seeing that it's very hot and there's no snow here! It was very cosy on the christmas parties I've been to though! The first one was one that one of the norwegians arranged for us at a sports pub called Oasis in Downtown Orlando. We had an area by ourselves and had our own bar. We could choose from beer, a rasberry or orange drink. He'd also arranged for us to get some Norwegian food, so we got porrige made of rice and milk, gingerbread cookies, norwegian candy and so on. Here's some of the people I met at the party:

Here's me and my friend Elisabeth. We'd both bought a new dress for the evening, and I'd even got my hair cut and styled

One of my managers, Kit even showed up

Elisabeth and Ray

Me and Carlos

Elisabeth and Iselin made a Christmasparty for us in their apartment on December 24th, wich is the big day for us in Norway:

The desert tray with seven different cokies

Iselin all dressed up

Elisabeth can't wait with checking her christmas stocking

Yuri borrowed a dress from Iselin and joined the party

Elizabeth was very happy to open the presents in her stocking

Jannike, unfortunatley, didn't have a stocking. But she was more than happy to test Elisabeth's presents.

In Epcot they made a little celebration for us in the VIP lounge with food and desserts... (all of these pictures are taken december 25th)

This cake was BIG

Those who worked didn't have much time to eat...

... but Ole didn't mind taking pictures with us anyway!
