Like Blossoming I would choose to spend the winter in Norway - we have had several magical winter holidays there, and a traditional Christmas spent with our Norwegian friends was the closest thing to a fairytale our family has ever experienced.
One evening we sat wrapped in blankets by a long fire pit deep in the forest, on a ‘snow sofa’ covered by reindeer skins, eating traditional Norwegian foods, (including Rømmegrøt), and singing Christmas carols. The whole area was lit by candles hung in jars from the trees.
Our children were young adults at the time and say it will always be one of their most precious memories.
