Christmas star
==============

The whole country is in Christmas mood: There's a Christmas market on the main street, they sell gingerbread, Choirs are standing on the corners and singing Carols.

All stores have changed their decoration by now, are open on Sundays as well and the days are being counted backwards. `Nissene over skog og hei <http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissene_over_skog_og_hei>`__ is running on TV while I again try to see `Jul i Skomakergata <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jul_i_Skomakergata>`__ with `Jon Blund <http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Blund>`__.

And the Norwegian Air-Force with their F-16 Jets decorates the Sky with Christmas Stars......
