We have saved all Christmas ornaments since our boys were small & they want the same ones every year in the Christmas tree. At least to keep the colours in red & green with some gold accents.
Surely, one can claim that traditions from childhood has a tremendous influence on us.

Ginger bread baking, a strong tradition in Sweden – no Christmas without gingerbread, believe me.
It’s the preparations, it’s the smells, it’s moments with mulled & gingerbread, it’s the atmosphere – the whole feeling. And gingerbread houses, decorations & the family getting together in the evenings with the winter darkness outside.

So, we have finally taken down our Christmas boxes from the attic, even if it’s in the last minute. I can’t say I have the same desire or interest to decorate as in the past. It’s not the same feeling without winter & frost (it’s currently 35 degrees outside). Old habits die hard. But some candle sticks will be used after all, once when darkness falls.

All sorts of desserts, snack & goodies are probably prepared & ready to serve for Christmas. No matter whether it’s bought or self made – although I prefer homemade. I had a mother who were very good at cooking, baking & in general an all-rounder in the kitchen. I inherited NOT the smallest portion of this ability. Maybe unfair, perhaps but it is what it is. But enjoying delicacies is not bad either. Desserts of all kinds are preferred, but generally, sweets is something of a must on the Christmas table. I thought this theme would be suitable a day like this – enjoy! AND MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU,
