Hey!
So, the musical is going really well, even though the teachers are getting more frustrated by the day. They threatened to stop it! We "calmly" discussed things and got to a conclusion. It goes our way. duh.
We're making a movie, it will probably be posted after christmas, it's kinda scary. It's in Icelandic, but it will be subbed.

I want to tell you about the Icelandic Christmas
Like I've said, there are 13 santas, or Yule Lads.If you leave your shoe in the window from the 11th to the 24th they will give you presents. (placing them in your shoe.) Their parents are trolls who eat children that don't behave, and if you don't get a new piece of clothing for christmas, their cat, the 'yulecat' will eat you. The yulelads are trolls too, so they have weird names. Their names are (the order they come in):
Sheep worrier - Stekkjastaur
Gully Gawk - Giljagaur
Stubby- Stúfur
Spoon licker - Þvörusleikir
Pot licker- Pottasleikir
Bowl Licker - askasleikir
Door slammer - Hurðaskellir
Skyr glutton - Skyrgámur
Sausage stealer - Bjúgnakrækir
Window peeper - Gluggagægir
Doorsniffer - Gáttaþefur
Meat Hook - Ketkrókur
Candle beggar - Kertasníkir

The 24th of december is christmas here. at 18.00 we sit down to eat in nice clothes, often with friends or family and eat dinner, usually lamb. It's classic but it's not the same everywhere. for instance, in my family, we eat reindeer(oh the irony XD )
after dinner we open the presents. that can take a while. And we don't even try to say santa brings them. We just say To You From Me. the 25th there are usually ';Parties' where you go and eat Hangikjöt ( smoked lamb) and Laufabrauð (no idea how to translate it) And we dring two sodas mixed together, malt and Appelsín, it's very good. I don't have enough space to go into christmas more, but maybe someday I'll tell you more about the Yule Lads.

Thanks so much for your comments! It means so much! (i think i said so much too much!) could you tell me (if u have time) how to get my journal like yours. PLZ!!!!
:iconxxpretty-ballerinaxx:
you mean the skin???
well... for some time now ninja assasin has been sponsoring skins, so if they're still doing that you just click the little button at the bottom of the page when writing a journal that says deviant green or more skins and then you just browse for a skin and use it ... kay?
