Turkey on Ice
It’s just too hard fitting a big turkey in the freezer. The next best thing is on our house veranda. The temperatures have been averaging -16ºC (abt 3.2ºF) which is nearly freezer temperature (-18ºC) so the turkey will do pretty well outside. And yes we also have a six-pack of juleøl (Christmas beer) cooling off in the snow. I wonder if the fjøsnisse will think his Christmas has come early this year!

Knowing what will keep your baby warm in Norway is common knowledge passed down from mother to mother…
The further ‘out of the way’ you go the more common it is to see folk cottages standing by the side of roads, along fjords or in a thicket of trees, minding their own business. 
In the winter we rest.
Runes were the written language of the Vikings.
Our family activities have become traditional to the seasons…
The Arctic Circle is an imaginary line.
I like that the turkeys come in boxes (fyi to folks outside Norway, they are wrapped in the usual plastic shrink wrap inside the box). But why does your turkey box have a photo of a rooster (ie. chicken) on it? (maybe that’s the logo of the poultry producer??)

from Moose:
That’s correct, the logo is of the poultry producer “Den Stolte Hane” (The Proud Rooster). They also have a little joke written on the box: “They say owls are wise. Turkeys may not be as bright, but they look much better on a plate”.
I’m not sure what a roasted owl would look like.
That’s an environmentally friendly solution =] Like it! It’s strange to see a turkey in the box. Here they are just wrapped in alu foil.
