Ida Elverhaug

Ida walks the line Creative Mix, and she's looking forward to celebrating Christmas. The fact that the whole family gets together, even those you don't meet very often, she found it very cozy. She has several Christmas traditions she is looking forward to. Every little Christmas Eve, her whole family gathers at her house for Christmas porridge with almonds in the porridge. On Christmas Day it is always Christmas breakfast at Aunt's and on Christmas Day it is Christmas breakfast at Grandma's. She is also looking forward to meeting her friends back home, and has already planned a luge trip with her best friend si.

During Christmas, she will bake gingerbread with her aunt, have the packing toy with her family and enjoy the Christmas season at home! It will be nice with Christmas, but also very nice to come back again,” says Ida. It's getting unaccustomed to going so many weeks without seeing each other!
