Merry Christmas!
This morning in our house—the decorations are subtle. No tree this year, just wee Jultomte and Julbok, with some floating silver glass balls in the fireplace. My grandmother’s Christmas plate from 1911 (it hangs in our kitchen all year long, but only today is it appropriate). It still feels like Christmas!
Christmas Eve at my mother’s house was more festive, as is always the case when children are around:
Today we’re off to see Sweeney Todd! Then it’s a much-needed week off for doing anything we want to. (Fingers crossed for lots of snow.) Merry Christmas!

Adam: Sweeney Todd was GREAT. So much fun…it’s exactly what you’d expect it to be, really, and that’s what I was hoping for. Go see it, I’m sure you’ll love it! xox
Smoss: Loosely, Jultomte is Santa (a gnome that brings gifts on Christmas, really), and a Julbok is a Christmas goat. (And yes, they are Swedish words.)
Oh, i love your fireplace…I wish I had one, too…
Merry Christmas!

I LOVE how your silver bulbs look like they are floating! That is a great trick! ;)
So Funny - I just looked at this blog for the first time (via Fine Little Day). Today we had a belated family Christmas. I’m half Swedish too, and are currently feeling very full after eating Jansson’s today - the one traditional Swedish dish we have every year. Lovely blog - Happy New Year!
