I love Christmas, and as you can see Cascina Nuova is now all ready for Christmas. And how perfect is Giovanni Corino‘s wine for Christmas? The red label goes great with the Christmas colors!

Early December we had a sort of Christmas Party with food and baking and wine. My danish friend made some delicious danish cookies for us, and a really nice danish christmas meal. I love having such an international friend group; you get introduced to so many different foods and traditions. In addition to my danish friend, there was my dear friend from Bangladesh, a good friend from Canada and a new friend from Russia! Talk about diverse group of girls!

Check out my amazing baking skills! And my beautiful santa hat! See the glitter? This hat was bought at a mall in Pennsylvania when I was maybe 6 years old, and has been my favorite head wear ever since! Anyone have any Christmas traditions or favorite parts of the holidays?

Christmas was celebrated in Cantina Granveien, as it has been for the past 5 years. We have many traditions, including the yearly santa hat photo as seen above. For us Christmas is centered around food and wine with several wine paired meals. The day before Christmas Eve (Lillejulaften) seafood and white wine is on the menu. This year it was 2002 themed with Comtes Laffo and Bonneau du Martray. Very interesting stuff.
