We wish you a Merry Christmas! We know that this year has been tough for many, and we hope that you have the opportunity to relax during the Christmas holidays and have some nice days! We do our best to contribute to the Christmas spirit by offering Christmas readings and rhymes.
"Now the food journey begins"
We plan to see as few people as possible this Christmas, for obvious reasons. The plan is to meet both sons and their spouses on Christmas Day, but to wait until afterwards to meet more people. So there will be many days alone in the houseboat. What will we do then? We plan to cook luxurious, exciting and interesting 3-course dinners. This will be our Christmas celebration!
The photo is from yesterday, when we cooked the first of these exclusive dinners in the our houseboat. We'll tell you more on the blog soon, so don't miss it! We ourselves are looking forward to this so much!
Christmas inspiration!
Looking for Christmas inspiration? We've written a lot about Christmas over the past few years. Here are some of our favourite posts:
Christmas memories - in rhyme
We usually read the newsletter from our blog colleague Christian, who runs the Food and travel blog (check it out!). In his latest newsletter he rhymed, and we can't be worse, haha. Here is our Christmas rhyme 2020:
In the winter of 2018/2019, we celebrated Christmas in beautiful Sri Lanka
absolutely perfect when you want to sunbathe and energise.
The Christmas before we hung out in Eilat and Jerusalem
we promise we were never homesick!
This year, Christmas will be less exotic, without the need to go abroad.
Instead, we enjoy the food and cyber friends we have on hand.
We wish all readers and friends a Merry Christmas!!!

We wish you a very Merry Christmas, as we have the privilege of having blue skies (almost) every day.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas.
There won't be much Christmas celebration here either, a Christmas plate for me and my mother and tomorrow children and grandchildren outdoors at the barbecue area.
In 2020 we will not only remember a different Christmas but a different year in every way.

Yes, it will be a different Christmas this year. We have also divided the celebration into several days, and with a few at a time. Wishing you a very Happy Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas! This afternoon I hope to see my siblings and their families on Zoom. Hopefully my mum and dad will also be there for a while. Mum has been asked to be Santa in the neighbouring garden so we will see. A Christmas walk with Sven and the kids and then food and presents is the plan for the day. It looks like yummy food you have going on! Wishing you lovely days!

We wish you a Merry Christmas from Norrtälje. Thank you for all the professional and interesting blog posts during the year and for keeping the courage up and also inspiring us readers to think new and positively focus the desire to travel this year to Sweden! Thank you also for interesting discussions both inside and outside the blog. We live as we learnt all year - do not meet a cone (because you should not if you want to be safe and we have to) but now prepare our own Christmas table with delicacies and look forward to quiet days with TV, Netflix and getting the new Christmas puzzle of 1500 pieces. That's good enough!

Nicely rhymed and thanks for the link.
I also really like your 3-course dinner approach.
Because even though this Christmas will be special for many
So can you be extra kind to your taste buds?
I hope you have a very cosy Christmas and New Year.
And that Freedomtravel and the food and travel blog can be seen more often in the host!

Wishing you the happiest Christmas possible! And you have to make the best of the situation that exists.
And the glorious weather this Christmas Eve makes it even better. When it comes to the so-called Christmas food, we largely leave it behind and eat what we like best.
