It’s always great to hear about Christmas traditions in countries other than the United States.

It`s a shame that gifts are opened so fast and many traditions are being lost over the years.
Happy New Year to you and the Mr.

Lifecruiser: I’m glad that you enjoyed them Dot :-) Yes, it reallly is a shame. Sad. I hope the end of 2006 and the beginning of 2007 will be fantastic for you and your family!

Say it isn’t true, Mrs L! We had the real tomte come to our house. I know by brother-in-law had an urgent errand just before tomte arrived, but I’m certain that was just a co-incidence, wasn’t it? :mrgreen:

Our Christmas Eve was similar to yours as was the food on the julbord. I rather like the Swedish julbord as most of the food on it is “once-a-year” stuff for us. And I guess I love sharing it all with family.

Sorry about lack of comments/posting for the last week. Blogger Beta trouble….grrrrr…..

Lifecruiser: Welcome back Marie :-) Uhum… busted. *blushing ashamed* Have I given away the secret now? But wait, maybe it’s just here Santa isn’t coming? He skip this place because it’s too close to the airport and he might bump into an airplane or something in the airspace…. He must call the tower first for landing permission first…. *lol*

Even coming from Norway I felt almost like home and we do very much the same. I’ve never had Jansons fristelser though – hope to taste it one day!
I also remember the horse and sleigh ride with the bell on the horse and nice, white snow. those where the days!
Thank you for sharing these traditions in all its details – a really great read!

Lifecruiser: Funny you’re mention that Renny, because our Norwegian friend were refusing to acknowledge Janssons frestelse as a edible dish and always told us about the Norwegian Rakfisk instead, so what we did was to take with us all the ingredients to Norway when visiting them to taste the Rakfisk and Mr L did the Jansson there. Our friend tasted it and thought it was good enough since he took one more portion of it :-)

In our family we always passed the presents one at a time and watched each one be opened too… and that is how we do it with OUR children. But my husbands family always passed out ALL the presents at one time and then each person opened all of theirs at once! UGH! I don’t like that way! We watch each gift be opened and we oooh and ahhhhh and have FUN while it’s all happening! It takes us HOURS to get through the gifts on Christmas morning! (and for all the money I spent – it SHOULD!) LOL!

I’m glad you had a very relaxing and peaceful holiday! Life is GOOD!

Lifecruiser: It sounds like you got it exactly rigth there, as it should be and I’m very pleased to hear that :-) The more we can have fun or enjoy something the better!!!

What’s worse is that they repeat the same awful food for Easter (with slight variations) and again at midsommar. Good on you for adapting so well!

Lifecruiser: Welcome here Shazzer :-) He he… Of course I adapted well – I’m born here! *LMAO* But I still think it’s not the very best of foods :-) Oh, and welcome back here any time!

Except for the fish. Yuck, ha,ha..
Merry Christmas..

Lifecruiser: Yes, I know…. It does sound gross… I’m not that fond of fish myself, but somehow it grows on you, so I can eat it nowadays and even think that it’s good. But not too much! Hope you’re having a wonderful xmas without fish ;-)
