It says the Mona Raaen (39) to Dagbladet.

For the second year in a row to melkebonden from Hegra in Stjørdal celebrate christmas with the people she shares neither blood or bonds of friendship with.

After that she let out the Find the ad “Someone who wants to celebrate christmas with us?” there are over 100 people who have made contact, ” she says.

In the ad, type Raaen that she “would like to invite someone who needs something different to look forward to in the christmas season”, and can tempt you with both koseglade calves, nissegrøt at the barn and ribs for dinner.

the Idea to open the doors on christmas eve came in last year, when Raaens two children to celebrate christmas at my dad’s in Coventry.

in Order to “fill up space” and to give some others a nice experience, let Raaen out the ad on Find where she is invited to christmas on the farm with her father and little brother.

the Response was, after the 39-åringens his own word, lackluster.

But around 20. December loosened it. A family of four people registered their interest. On the actual christmas eve took a single person to contact.

We don’t have the exact numbers from previous years, but we believe we have received over 600 ads in the last two years distributed on both categories, so it seems to have been an increase in the year. Perhaps because we have made it a little easier to both put into ad and add it to the right place.

Oudmayer has more advice after that access the home during the christmas season:

– to invite someone home at the celebration or at other vacations, requires a high degree of mutual trust that both parties are responsible to manage in a wise way. It is important to be clear about the limits that apply, so that expectations can be adjusted on the realistic level, ” says Unicef director.

Oudmayer points out that the threshold to accept and ask for help for the vast majority are high. Many feel basically vulnerable.

– The one who opens their home should invest some time in getting to know, but at the same time assume that those who contact us, they need it – so they don’t have the extra humiliation it can be to have to tell you in detail.
