Merry Christmas(... and Happy New Year!)
As I mentioned in an earlier post, we decided to celebrate Christmas Swedish-style this year. It was fun to research to see what they used to decorate, eat and other ways that they choose to celebrate.
We decorated our tree with the Sweden flag, hearts, candles and dala horses. The table included poinsettia (Julstjarna) and our Christmas Eve (Julafton) meal. We had Julskinka (Christmas ham), Risgrynsgrot (rice porridge) and Pepparkakor (gingerbread cookies).
We told S about the traditions of St. Lucia, Tomte and the Jul Bok. Although, truth be told, M and I were more interested in it than she was!
Next year, we are going to do a Chilean Christmas!
