Belonging to a minority, the "Season's festivities" isn't my cup of tea as it were, but the Amaryllis flowers Ruth cultivates for the occasion are nice targets for the "X-Ray" kind of lenses.

Let us face it : everyone of us (and others) is a singularity. That is what we all have in common. Cheers and happy festivities

I love the purity of colour in John Gerrts' blue geranium; and I also love the colours, textures and arrangement of Fon's "Stones".

This year it fell on me to make the traditional Season's Red Herring Salad. Pickled herring, red beets, red opinions, apples, pickled cucumbers, potatoes, and thick sour cream; all topped with slices of hard-boiled eggs and parsley. It is actually a real delicacy.

The photo shows the process im the early stages.

Today we had the annual Christmas tree flying with the Danish and Swedish air force.
They do a "round trip" looking like a Christmas tree, if seen from above

Yes. 'Seterrømme' => the thickest sour cream you can get here. One shouldn't pinch on the calories for this dish
