End of Christmas

2013-01-06Uncategorized Standard

January 6th marks the end of Christmas in Iceland, and is called ‘The Thirteenth’. As usual, Finnur’s parents invited their offspring and families to have some hot chocolate and other goodies on the day. When we returned home shortly before dinner-time, Finnur then shot up the remainder of our fireworks, much to the enjoyment of the kids.

Here, have some photos!

Arriving at grandma’s and grandpa’s house. (And, hardly any snow, just frozen ground.)

Christmas decorations with New Year’s Eve leftovers.

More yuletide decorations.

Inga and a couple of kids by the table full of food.

The remainder of the guests ate in the living room proper.
