As in Sweden we celebrate Christmas the 24th, I now wish my loved ones back home a Merry Christmas! I hope you get a white and lovely Christmas!

Since it’s still the 23rd over here in Canada, it’s not Christmas until tomorrow. So we’ve gathered a bunch of Scandinavians for dinner tomorrow night and then we’ll watch Donald Duck’s Christmas Show that mom sent to us! That’s something we always watch in Sweden before Santa’s coming, where there’s a lot of teasers from different Disney films.

For those of you who are interested to know what we eat at a Swedish Christmas dinner, I will now tell you. We eat herring and potatoes, salmon and ribs with apple puree. We also eat something similar to rice pudding but we eat it for breakfast or lunch with milk, cinnamon and almonds. There is also something called Jansssons Temptation, which is a kind of potato gratin with anchovies. Of course we also have meatballs and sausages at our Christmas dinner!
