It was a gray Thursday morning at the end of November when the classroom door opened, and Ms. Larsen walked in with something hidden under her arm. The students noticed the sparkle in her eyes immediately — that rare “something special” look teachers get when a surprise is coming. She placed a large brown envelope on her desk, sealed with red wax and tied with a piece of string. In neat writing, it said: “The December Project.”
The class quieted down. Emma, sitting in the front row, raised her hand. “Is it homework?” she asked, half-worried, half-curious. Ms. Larsen smiled. “Not quite. It’s a project that will take us all the way to Christmas. Something a bit different this year. Inside are instructions — but we won’t open it until tomorrow.” A collective groan filled the room, mixed with laughter and whispers about what it could be.
During lunch, the students speculated wildly. Some guessed it was a secret play. Others thought it might be a competition. Lukas suggested it might even involve cooking. Whatever it was, one thing became clear: the air in 7B felt different — alive, hopeful, and full of curiosity. And though no one said it out loud, every single student walked home that afternoon thinking about the same question: What is the December Project?
Every December, our family enjoys creating a Christmas calendar — a story told day by day, filled with imagination, warmth, and reflection. This year, we’ve chosen to make it a little different.
“The December Project” focuses on traditional Christian values such as kindness, gratitude, honesty, and compassion — the virtues that have shaped the spirit of Christmas for generations. Through simple acts, meaningful moments, and gentle lessons, we hope to remind both young and old what this season truly stands for: love, generosity, and hope.
We warmly wish all families — of every culture and faith — a joyful, peaceful, and meaningful holiday season. While this year’s calendar draws inspiration from Christian traditions, its heart belongs to everyone who believes in goodness and light.
Hver desember liker familien vår å lage en julekalender – en historie fortalt dag for dag, fylt med fantasi, varme og refleksjon. I år har vi valgt å gjøre den litt annerledes.
Historien «Desemberprosjektet» fokuserer på tradisjonelle kristne verdier som vennlighet, takknemlighet, ærlighet og medfølelse – dydene som har formet juleånden i generasjoner. Gjennom enkle handlinger, meningsfulle øyeblikk og milde lærdommer håper vi å minne både unge og gamle på hva denne sesongen virkelig står for: Kjærlighet, gavmildhet og håp.
Vi ønsker varmt alle familier – fra alle kulturer og trosretninger – en gledelig, fredelig og meningsfull høytid. Selv om årets kalender henter inspirasjon fra kristne tradisjoner, tilhører dens hjerte alle som tror på godhet og lys.
