Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

17/12/2009 // Sunday the 13th of December the Norwegians in Lebanon came together for a pre-Christmas party. There were homemade Christmas-cookies and gløgg and lots of candy for the children.

The Royal Norwegian Embassy in Beirut arranged a reception for all the Norwegian citizens who live in Lebanon. Among the guests were Norwegian citizens who study or work in Lebanon, and some were accompanied by their families. All together, almost 80 people attended the reception.

 

After the Ambassador Aud Lise Norheim had welcomed everyone into her home, she lit three candles representing joy, hope and truth.

 

The Royal Norwegian Embassy in Beirut wishes everyone Happy Holidays!
