I'm also gonna go over to my grandma's on Friday to help her bake and decorate the house. Mmmm date crumble!!!
That sounds good. For us, I will be making traditional Icelandic (as much as one can find ingredients for in South Texas.)

I think our Jólakaka is similar to your Norwegian one, we don´t use much fruit in it, just a few raisins and some candied peel.

For Christmas we would like to have Jólarjupa (Christmas Ptarmigan) or Hangikjöt (Smoked Leg of Lamb) served with Kartölflur í jafningi (potatoes in Bechamel sauce.)

I'm also making lots of Christmas cookies
