X-mas run

I have celebrated my x-mas day with a nice run in fast paste in the forest and by the ocean. So nice!

It´s +8 degrees here today and I can´t complain about the weather anymore...maybe we´ll be lucky enough and skip winter and get spring already?? Give us Mediterranean weather, yeah!

Oh, and someone asked why I wrote "Tompa" for Tuomas and that is a common swedish nickname for those being named Tomas, which is our way of saying Tuomas.

So now you know (curiosity killed the cat, or?=)

What do you say about me having a nice raffle next week where I give away some of our new merchandise t-shirts??? Would someone like to win that?


Enjoy the day now!

  15. The raffle is a nice idea. I think there will be many people taking part in it because who would NOT like to win? =)

    P.S.: Imaginaerum is a wonderful album. I like it so much, I listen to it every day since I got it on 6th of December. And I love your voice, so beautiful <3

  16. Here in Germany it´s very warm, too.. We had only one short white day. It snowed only once here in the east...Very strange but so there are less accidents on the streets.


    If someone would like to win? I guess everybody!

    But maybe we can be a little bit creativ for that this time?

    A run is a nice way to celebrate the holidays, but for me 8 degrees is friggin' cold!
    Here (Argentina) is summer and we're melting away hehe.

  28. Hi dear Annete!, Happy christmas for you too!!, I am Loira, a paraguayan fan of nightwish!!, first let me tell you that you are so cute and since the first time i heard your voice i felt in love:) definitively Tuomas did a good choice!!. I cant wait for getting the new album imaginaerum!!, The music Number 04 - Slow love i heard a hundred times!!, Here in Paragaguay, many of people that love nightwish we had supported you since the beggining, because we know that tuomas is a genius and of course he found the best voice to interpret his incredible creativity. Warm Greetings and go ahead!!!

  29. The only difference between the weather on the 25th of june and the 25th of december is that it's 9 degrees colder in december... Not so sure about Sweden but it's close to that in Estonia.

    And I'd like a cool t-shirt :P

    ReplyDelete
  30. Hey Anette,

    I hope you had/have a wonderful Christmas. You look beautiful on both pictures. How do you people celebrate Christmas? Could you tell us more about how Swedish people celebrate? What you do? Do you have a special menu?
    Hmm...raffle...it would be great! I think many people would like to win some t-shirts...but this time I wanna be one of the winners :)

    Have a nice evening and enjoy the time with your boys!

  31. Hey Anette!

    Merry Christmas dear! :) I hope you had a great day :)

    I got Imaginaerum as a Christmas gift from my best friend, I just want to congratulate on a beautiful album, your vocal performance is brilliant! :) you have a gorgeous voice, thank you for using it so well :)

    May you and your family and the band be blessed this year, thank you for the lovely music :)

    Take care dearest Anette ;)

    Big hug

    Janine

    Ps: a raffle sounds great ;D

  32. Oh, another raffle to us! It would be really great! Of course I'd like to win that.
    Enjoy your X-mas day with your family!
    Lots of love to all of you

    ReplyDelete
  33. Oh Annette, your idea is great for the lottery. A awards are provided to you "just hit on target" at least for me. I have long looked online the shop of Nightwish prices and conditions, even the most liked the shirt with "dancer", but for me it's impossible to order a good way from Finland. In Bulgaria still does not offer goods and accessories associated with new album, so look forward to your lottery and hopefully I can win. You are so pleasant Annette and I want something to make you happy but alas... Glad you had a nice Christmas mood ... Stay still smiling and positive

    ReplyDelete
  34. Hello! Merry Christmas to you Anette and your family! Have a nice evening ;)
    Of course! I love raffle! I supose it would be the t-shirt of Imaginaerum :D I wanna win that! ;)

  35. Hi Anette!
    I'm glad you've spent a good day.
    +8 degrees... Here it's +6~13 degrees. I hope one day snow ú.ù
    My Christmas present was the Imaginaerum CD and a shirt from the same CD ...
    If you do a contest, I will not participate. I must consider others not only at this time, always =)

  42. Haha, jag tycker tvärtom när det gäller vädret. Jag gnäller snarare över att det är för milt. Plusgrader och ingen snö på marken kan jag inte acceptera den här tiden på året, det går inte. Nu ska det vara snö och kallt ute. Men detta är ju bara min åsikt :-)

    ReplyDelete
  43. Of course! Enjoy the holidays! :D

  44. Oh, and you look marvellous btw!! :D

  45. I would like to win but I am from america so this is impossible to get it and soory for my english is bad :(

    ReplyDelete
  46. hey Anette! I do hope you guys are having a wonderful holiday season, and now i can only agree with you about the weeather. if winter hasnt been able to bring about the real thing like snow and frost and ice and icicles, then it is high time spring came and that's it... i just wanted to have a white christmas but so much for my little childish wishes :(

    raffles are fun, go for it! :) god jul!

  47. Hello Anette !!
    I celebrated my X-mas eve and X-mas day in a very nice way =) Everyone was happy and we had a great time together !! We got our gifts and we ate good food ! I'm glad to know that everything is going fine with you and your family in x-mas day ^^
    That's sooo cold :S LOL It's like between 10º-15º degrees here and i'm dying with cold !! Can't wait for the sun ;) But in Portugal the cold is very different,in countries like Russia,Finland and even yours the weather is "dry" cold with snow but here we have "humid" cold with rain,wind...Today my sister told me that her friends from Russia said that they have to wear more clothes here in Portugal in winter than in Russia...But when it comes to Summer we are very lucky, we go to the beach every single day and the weather is like between 35º-40º degrees,places like Alentejo and Algarve are really hot.We don't have much snow here,only in the North of our country...I wish i could be in Sweden to have snow :D
    Aaah so Tompa is for Tomas xD It sounds like a cartoon name ehehe :D
    That's a good idea ! Thanks a lot Anette,really ! I never won your or any other band competitions but i just get so happy that you do them very often =) It's really nice from you,you are the kindest person i've ever seen,even if i don't win it i will not forget that at least you did it for us and you made fans happy ! So,yeah it would be nice and as always i want to be in it :D
    You look like an angel in that pic,your hair looks quite different but it's beautiful !
    Thanks a lot Anette for the competition !
    Kisses and Hugs from Portugal

  72. Raffle away a personalized video to a fan. You decide what the fan has to do to win and then make a video congradulating them on what they won... It gives and extra "oh my god i cant beleieve I won" factor.... Just a thought.

  75. Hello anette and happy Coming New Year ;)
    I would love to get such t-shirt, since my dream once was one jacket with Nightwish logo and a nice fur, but turned out it was no more of them available and mot my size anyway so I got really upset. Since i have been saving money to buy that for some months.

    Need to get something from Nightwish this time maybe ;)

    Happy evening to you ;_)

    Nice hairdo ;)

  78. hi Anette :)
    I just want to tell You, that Your voice in Imainaerum is soooo great.
    I listen to these songs and it's like wooow.
    Love the way You sing everything.
    Amazing work, really.
    I can't stop listening and singing :D

    ReplyDelete
  79. Anette, I left a comment already but i need to tell you!! Today i listened to Imaginaerum in the coach back home, and the real trip was not the road but the music! I escaped from reality! This album is wonderful, you and the band did such a great job! I remember Tuomas said years ago that you have the voice of a storyteller, and i can't agree more. Your singing is different from a song to another one and it's fantastic!
    Have a nice day
