Christmas Holiday in a Norwegian mountain cabin

 

Norway is one of the countries on our ‘to visit’ wishlist. Especially this time of the year must be a wonderful time to spend your Christmas holidays in Norway.

Norway is known for its breathtaking nature. Its mountains, fjords and waters, its snowy winter landscape, the Northern lights and so many more.

Let me show you some pictures of Norwegian nature.

Imagine, spending your Christmas holidays in a beautiful Norwegian cabin or lodge…

Wouldn’t it be magical to walk to the entrance door of this fairy tale-like wooden house?

And to enter this wooden hallway?

You just walked into an inviting and beautiful decorated holiday retreat.

You could change your snowboots for your slippers at this cabin corner.

Rooms where the wooden floors are covered with the flat woven and traditional Norwegian patterned tapestry.

Where candles are the only source of lighting…

A place to relax,…

If I had the chance to spend the holidays with my family in a Norwegian mountain cabin, then I would make it comfortable for all the family members.

And while everyone is outside, I would prepare dinner and set the Christmas table.

Maybe I could bake fresh bread in the oven…

…or I could search for typical Norwegian food receipts in the cabin found cookbook.

I might think I would try the ‘deer antlers’ cookies.

After baking time, I would relax in a comfortable fur-covered outdoor chair to enjoy the beautiful mountains…

…awaiting the rest of the family to join me to have warm drinks !

Maybe a cappuccino for everyone ?

I would hand out wam blankets to keep everyone warm.

…and I would place the wooden stools around the fire outside.

And when evening falls and all children are tired of playing in the snow,…

…I would invite all family members to go inside…

…to enjoy the warmth of the cabin interior.

And finally we would all gather around the table to have Christmas dinner.

At the end of the evening I would be pretty sure that everyone would have a peaceful night in the beautiful decorated cabin bedrooms.
