CHRISTMAS IN SWEDEN
Once again Christmas is closing in on us. In Sweden,
which is usually dark, cold and gloomy this time of year, we really appreciate
the lights and warmth that Christmas brings.
I always celebrate with my family
(mother, step-father, three brothers and one sister; and their families;
and my husband & daughter). As we have grown older and gotten families
of our own, it´s sometimes difficult to bring all together, but we
try! Mostly we´ve been at my mother´s home, but occasionally
somewhere else. That´s not so important, as long as we are together
and we all can fit around a table.
To me Christmas is lots of candles, decorations, meeting
the family, good food and drinking glögg.
Getting some days off work is of course a plus! And I don´t mind
some nice TV as well. I´ve also always enjoyed the gifts, both giving
and receiving. It´s a challenge to find something perfect to give
away.
