To all our birthdays, a Pavlova belongs to the festivities.
It has become a tradition in Australia, mostly because my husband loves it – and we just kind of hung on the need, the rest of the family.(Unusual, as it normally would be discussed & reflected upon).
This time it was a simplified version – not bad at all!

It has probably been much food during the holidays, by tradition, when people come together.
There is much talk about food in general – recipes, dishes, restaurants – but also obesity & healthy options.
Little food, whether it’s nutritious or not, with a nicely set table,
and care for the servings in small amounts, always look appetising.

A nice cup of coffee & something sweet with it, is called FIKA in Swedish.
A very strong culture & tradition about hanging out / socialise over a coffee.
Mont-blanc-cassis with chestnut would be perfect – although perhaps a bit too much for a fika.

Brocade and embroidery in beautiful silky materials is no ordinary sight.
It’s too bad actually, a simple way to enrich everyday life and life in general.

Gifts are one of the things that belongs to Christmas. We learn to write wish lists to Santa Claus when we are small. Age has no importance whatsoever when it comes to Christmas gifts. It sparkles as much in the adults’ eyes as the little ones. It’s important with the content for some of us, but what creates the whole feeling are the packages themselves, wrapping paper, string, ribbon & all colours. Speaking of wish lists, our guys still writes lists every year for Christmas. Maybe not so much for sending to Santa, but to maintain the tradition, the feeling & excitement. Perhaps also to ensure that a couple desires are met, who knows!
