Vaaaaaga erinev pilt on... esimese perekonna juures on suur kahe meetrine voltskuusk, millele on kallimad ja hasti uuema aja parased iluehted kulge pandud ja pling pling ka..igale poole on pandud vatiinikatted ning enil on elektrilised suusarajad ja plastkuusekesed, uhe pisikese kapi peal on kuusk, mis avaneb ja seal see on uhe kaega jouluvana, teine kasi kukkus ara ja hakkab dzingel bells song:)Eile kulastasin uhte peret magedes, niel on kahe ja poole sajandi vanune maja, mille seinad on meetripaksused, akendel on Ikeast ostetud kolmnurk kuunlad, ning toanourgas elus kuus, millel punakuulid ehteks.. olest ehted ripuvad sajandeid vananade aampalkide kuljes ning triibulised sokid kuivadvad omatehtud puust restil raudahju kohal:)peretutred olid kupsetanud paev otsa koike maitsvat, shokolaadi kupsiseid ja jouluhalge ja sidrunikooki ja veel uhte kreemiga kooki ja alumiinumkarbid said aareni lohnavat suhkrunosimist tais.. Ei tea kas see on sellest, et pereisa on kalveriopetaja aga pere on hasti musikaalne, perepoeg mangib trumme, peretutar Salome kontrabassi ja kitarri ja isa klaverit, orelit ja ei kujuta ettegi, mida koike veel. nii teagid nad meile vaikese jazzu kontserdi.. istusime puidust treppidel, selg vastu suuri kive toetumas, kaes piparmundi tee tassid ja nautisime... ni harva naeb midagi sellist... hiljem ei lastud mul minna, ilma, et oleksin laulnud midagi Eesti parast... laulsin siis uhe traditsioonilise Eesti laulu kristiina tutrest:) ja naitasin youtubest laulupidu.. vat mina usun kull,et sain kuidagi vaikest viisi jalle Eestit esindada:DSupertore oli..me toime ka kuuse tuppa, paris kuuse ja kodust saadeti kuuse kuunlaid ja kuunlajalgu..meie tuletorjujast sober vangutas pead nagu ka koik teised, et teil see maja siin maha poleb.. sellepasrt siin selliseid kuunlaid puudel polegi.. kardetakse..aga sellest pole midagi.. riputasin eelmine nadal ounu ules ja kadakaoksad viskasin ka luhtrite peale.. ilus roheline on ja kuidagi vaga rahustav.. otan juba joule, kui rahulikult kodus olla ja nautida parimat seltskonda ja seda palju oodatud joulurahu

Dace, this is specially for you now:)i was just talking how differently the families here , in France, are decorating their homes for the chrismas... in the fisrt family they have hanged the santa clauses out from the windows and it hurts my heart every day i see it and they have big 2 meters high plastic tree covered with most expencive and exlusive crismasdecorations... a lot of bling bling and on the table there is also one smaller tree, what opens and there is is inside santa clause with one hand, he had lost his other hand and it playes dzingel bells song:) everywhere is artificial snow, with small lights and small moving plastic skiers..Yesterday night i visited one family who lives in the mountines. they have 2,5 centuries old house, what has 1 meter thick walls, on the windows they had special triangle shape candelholders bought from the IKEA and in the corner of the livingroom real sapin with red balls(is it correct to say that now:)lot of decoration was made of straws was hanging on the centuriesold joists.Socks with stripes were hanging on selfmade wooden drying rack above the oven. The daughters of the family had cooked all day long everything good. Metallicboxes were foll of cookies and everywhere on the tables, where different kind of cakes.The faily is very musical, father is playing the piano and organ, his sun is ppaying the drums and his daughter Salome is playing the contrabas and the guitar. They made us small jazzconcert down in the wecond livingroom and we were witing in the wooden stairs and leaning on the bigger rocks on the wall, drinking the mint-tea.We were really enjoying it, because it is quite rare to see almost all the family making music together. I had to sing later one estonian traditional song, thanks god, i knew one from my college times and later i showed our big songfestival in Estonia throught the YOutube.
At home we have also real sapin and my family sent me also the small candels and candleholders to put them on the tree.Our fireman friend,as everybody else, was shaking his head and asked do we really wish to burn down our house.. they are not used and so it seems a bit dangerous:)but it s ok i hanged up the apples and on the chandelier, we have i hanged the branches of the juniper..so nice and homy and green.I am already wating the chrismas to be at home with my closestand enjoy the eaceful, very calm time:)
