God Jul! December 24th

In Sweden Christmas Eve is the day you open presents and have your big feast.

I was surprised this morning with a package from Sydney with my stocking presents inside (Christmas socks, Santa hat, snow globe, stickers etc). Was lovey to have something from home.

We actually went to the gym at 10am as Fredrik’s Mum is a gym instructor!

Christmas dinner started at about 2pm with glögg followed by cold meats and cheese.

Then at 3pm we watched ‘Kalle Anka,’ a Disney Christmas special which is an annual tradition in Sweden.

After this the meal continued with hot food... meatballs, potato and anchovy bake, sausages etc.

We then moved to opening presents! I was surprised with a gift from Tomte, two beautiful candle holders made in Karlskrona.
My gift from Britt and Fredrik was a surprise 3 day trip to Copenhagen!!!!! So excited!

We then moved to sweets and coffee with a massive selection of baked goods.Read more
