a Hersir attends Jule Frokost

Just a cheeky update to let you know the scoop. (a full post will be available around Christmas day/boxing day for all my loyal readers/groupies)

So we have our Jule Frokost today (Chrissy lunch) and its going to be one ÆPIC FEST!!!

It will be akin to a whole bunch of Einherjar in Valhalla preparing for Ragnarök.
As depicted by Lego:

Mead, Meat and Merry times

Pics will hopefully be depraved and compromising. In fact i will assure you that it will be the case. It wouldn't be Christmas lunch without someone getting naked and being covered in tinsel like a down-on-her-luck she-elf from the north pole.


 God Jul og God Nyt År till alle

As merry as i get..... ever.
I leave you with the traditional and original reason we eat a lot and drink too much this time of the year  (applicable to white people mostly, #thankscolonialism?)

"Celebration of the Norse New Year; a festival of 12 nights. This is the most important of all the Norse holidays. On the night of December 20, the god Ingvi Freyr rides over the earth on the back of his shining boar, bringing Light and Love back into the World. In later years, after the influence of Christianity, the god Baldur, then Jesus, was reborn at this festival. Jul signifies the beginning and end of all things; the darkest time (shortest hour of daylight) during the year and the brightest hope re-entering the world. During this festival, the Wild Hunt is at its greatest fervor, and the dead are said to range the Earth in its retinue. The god Wotan (Odin) is the leader of this Wild Ride; charging across the sky on his eight-legged horse, Sleipnir; a very awe-inspiring vision. In ancient times, Germanic and Norse children would leave their boots out by the hearth on Solstice Eve, filled with hay and sugar, for Sleipnir's journey. In return, Wotan would leave them a gift for their kindness. In modern times, Sleipnir was changed to a reindeer and the grey-bearded Wotan became the kindly Santa Claus (Father Christmas)."
