Christmas In Sweden

Merry Christmas people 🎅

Christmas is almost here and we have snow, a lot of it.

It looks beautiful here in Stockholm. I hope it last all the way to Christmas.

I must say that this is the first year I have not stressed a single day before Christmas.

Usually I stress around buying ridiculous amount of gifts to everyone and trying to beat the gifts of last year.

This is Christmas 2 years ago & that was the most stressful Christmas preparing all these presents! But also a lovely one as well

This year me and Hector decided not to buy anything at all. Instead we decided, that this year we will make something personal for each other. I absolutely love the idea.

We don’t have any kids. So for us, just spending the whole day together, playing video games, eating good food is more than enough.

When I was little Christmas was all about the Christmas gifts. I really would not have enjoyed it without it, but again I was young.

I want it to be about something more today. For me it´s about making the rooms feel cozy, enjoying good food and just have FUN.

I am going to give Hector a handmade "love note-jar". With small notes for the whole year. 365 small notes with cute small reminders, like: you an amazing lover, you’re an inspiration, I trust you, you rock those pants because you have the greatest bum I have ever seen.

Some of the things I have written. (I can tell you this, because he does not read my blog) 😁

Something like this

I am going to bake “saffransbullar” tomorrow. Lovely buns with Saffron in them, I put vanilla frosting inside of them and they taste amazing.

Something I do every year is my favorite bread “sifted rye-flour bread" (the only translation I could find) ! In Swedish they are called “rågsiktsbröd”.
