Winter holidays at our house consists of a Winter Solstice Party. Relatives and friends who are not extremely religious are invited. We serve Gløgg, a spicy Scandinavian wine and other drinks, Norwegian delicacies such as pickled herring, meatballs, cheeses. We dance. We recite Tom Paine and other prose and poetry. We write our favorite enemy's name on a slip of paper, drop it in a bowl and burn it. Sometimes it is a new year's resolution we write. We enjoy the company of each other and pledge to strengthen our friendship.
