The best breakfast.. leftovers from Xmas dinner. Three little sandwiches – one with ham, one with liver pate and pickled cucumbers, one with beetroot sallad and home made meatballs. One boiled egg with Kalles caviar and a cup of tea followed by a cup of coffee.
Slept in my new pyjamas – they fit perfectly!
Started to take care of all the dishes from yesterday that needs cleaning by hand. Takes a while but it is so nice to use them for special occasions. And Xmas dinner with the family is special.
Later on today we are going to my parents for Xmas-day dinner. Lovely. But before then I am going to start filling my suitcase and figure out what to pack. Finally I’m allowed to get organized for the trip. Yeah. One step at a time.
Julafton – Christmas eve
Christmas eve at ours. First a busy morning getting the house ready – table set, house cleaned and decorated – food preparations etc. Then we enjoyed the spa for a bit – sitting outside in the sunny weather, snow covering the garden and birds singing in the elder tree. Lovely.
We had our traditional lunch when me and my youngest enjoy rise pudding and the others ham and mash / pasta.
Big Xmas this year – my favorite kind! With my sister and her family and all the grandparents present. A nice meal together enjoying the food and company. Feeling blessed for what we have and grateful we are all well and able to be part of this. After dinner we tidy up and then it is time to hand out and open all the presents. And then we have fruit sallad and / or chocolate pudding with whipped cream and coffee / tea to round off the day.
God jul – Merry Christmas!
