Christmas gift time!

Dec 22, 2008 11:52

Happy Hanukkah to my more or less  jewish friends........ then I suddenly realized that according to the danish church I am christian, and my family administers as abbots a japanese buddhist temple since the 5th. Century Yes more than 1500 years old!!! So religion and traditions are for me just a ceremony,...... so forget Happy Hanukkah. Lets go over then to the christmas instead.

OK Usually Christmas gifts is a stress factor for me. I don't have time to buy them, I want to be creative and find a gift I know the person wants but in same time haven't thought about...... yes difficult..... for my Dad Christmas is his time for book restocking and my mom is so much a perfectionistic that you can't give her a christmas present (She is the type that can say the flowers are not nice If you give her some flowers and its not her preferred).

This year I decided that I wanted to send a present to a close friend living outside the european continent (yes some of my best friends don't live in Denmark and when you are multicultural as I you have friends outside the small realm I live in). But Who is it? and were do the friend come from? I wont tell you guys ;0)

But once this friend came to a visit in Denmark i gave the friend, the very danish soft drink, Elderflower juice. Elderflower juice is a sweet, light and fresh taste. I think that the taste of this is the essence of scandinavian culture, drink this and you think of a scandinavian midsummer day with blond girls in white summer-dresses and a flower crown on the head. And as far as I know its basically only in Sweden and Denmark you drink this (correct me If I am wrong).

This friend really liked this so I decided to send a bottle of this concentrated stuff to the friend. I wanted to send the bottle through the post office. The danish postal system has always been fairly good, effective and cheap. I was surprised, I wanted to send the stuff express because it used to be cheap...... and I am the type that don't complain over expensive tickets for trains and stuff like that........ but......... was shocked over the expensive price for the shipment.......... but what the heck I send-ed the package because!!!!!!!!

It's Christmas!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Christmas guys!!!!
