GOD JUL!!
what d'you mean, "just" the 24th?? that's when christmas is, isn't it- oh wait. right. americans.
purple wyrm, that looks veeerrrry intruiging O:
I was out for a walk with my brother and grandmother, and we were apparently just gonna say hi to some lady she knows on the way, but before we knew it we were inside, sitting in a room full of romantic landscape paintings, drinking various warm beverages from roccoco style decorated cups, listenting to the old ladies discussing how and when people they knew died.
well, the tea was good.
an interesting christmas tradition fact that both my cultures seems to share - a czech fairytale movie named three nuts for cinderella (Tři oříšky pro Popelku / Tre nøtter for Askepott) that plays on both czech and norwegian televison every christmas eve. the norwegian version, however, is horrendously dubbed - or talked over, rather - by the same man for all the characters. norwegians refuse to see any other version, or re-dub it properly. tradition is tradition. i've never seen the norwegian version, since i spend every yule here in czech. in fact, i didn't even know it was a norwegian tradition! i didn't even know it was a specifically christmasy tradition to watch this movie, because my grandfather used to record all fairytale movies on VHS cassettes for me to watch when I came for the summer.
the movie is pretty good, though. as far as cinderella adaptions go, this one is the only one that i know of where cinderella crossdresses as a hunter and beats the prince in a hunting contest with a crossbow.
