[AT] OT Merry Christmas! And ramble

[Mattias Kessén]

Larry, Right I was wondering about why it's named boxing day. Now I know why
I didn't remember, no one else did either :-) So we celebrate Christmas for
three days (not that we are much of christians) Mostly eating for three days
but Santa arrives at Christmas eve. This means that we celebrate second day
of christmas (actually the third).

Same with easter. Easterevening, Easterday and second day of easter
(actually we anotherdayeaster and anotherdaychristmas). All the days at the
week before easter have their own names, I don't know all the names but we
have as exemple dymmelonsdag (*******wednesday dymmel is the thing in the
middle of the churchbell making the sound but wrapped in clothing to make
silent ringings. This isn't done anymore) on this wednesday you are supposed
to unnoticed put notes on other peoples backs reading "I'm a donkey", "kick
me in the butt" etc.

Irma, thank you. At least it's not cedar but there are birch, aspen, spruce,
oak, juniper and pine. I hope this helps, if not I'll try to mark them. It's
not easy I know that our oaks are different than yours I've seen some
american oaks, but have no idea how much the others varies.
