I'm writing now from just north of Stockholm where we are celebrating Christmas. We left yesterday morning and traveled about an hour through a really intense and terrible snow storm. Coming from Texas I'd never seen anything like that. But after awhile we made it through the storm and arrived safe and sound five hours later.
Swedes celebrate their Christmas on the 24th. They celebrate with lots of bread, cheese, butter, meat, meat, ham, herring, and red cabbage. Oh and snaps. Then they watch Donald Duck on tv. After Donald Duck someone has to go get the newspaper and while they're away Santa visits! It's very exciting and bad timing for the newspaper fetcher.
We've had a good Christmas. We planned to celebrate the 25th as well but since we were traveling we opted to save space and not bring those presents up with us. Instead we celebrated a bit early! Besides our many wonderful presents I think one of our favorites is a signed lease on our new apartment!
Yup! After MONTHS of searching it finally worked out. I promise to tell more about it later, once we're back home. But for now I'll just tell you it's right by the beach and has a washing machine and dryer!
God Jul everybody and Merry Christmas.
