Christmas mood and Christmas table with lots of vegetables

The Christmas spirit is creeping in, and that's not a bad thing. It's especially cosy with all the lights going up everywhere in the middle of the dark winter. We have (believe it or not) decorated a bit, offered Christmas food and enjoyed a Christmassy Stockholm.

Christmas tree, candles and advent calendar

For once, we have some Christmas spirit here at home in the houseboat. We are not very good at that, but this year we have a Christmas tree, Christmas lights and even an advent calendar, which we got from our partner Anna at Pufz. We have also decorated the blog for Christmas, with articles such as Santa Claus and odd Christmas traditions.

Christmas table with extra vegetables

Last weekend we also arranged a traditional Christmas table here in the houseboat, but with a little extra green. The guests who were here are Muslims, and do not eat pork. They have only lived in Sweden for a few months, so it was fun to show off some Swedish traditions, and we think it was also appreciated.

Christmas dinner without pork? Yes, it goes perfectly well! We had herring, boiled potatoes, egg halves with different sauces, several kinds of salmon, Jansson's temptation, meatballs, lamb sausage, beetroot salad, Västerbotten cheese pie, kale salad with apple and pomegranate seeds, Brussels sprouts, wafer bread and cheese. And, of course, mulled wine, cider, fruit and chocolate!

Christmas in the city

It's Christmas in the city too, which is nice! At this dark time, it's nice with all the lights that light up, and not least it's wonderfully lit up at Centralen!

Best this week

The best thing about this week is that it's getting close to Christmas. We still have a lot to do, but it feels a little, little calmer.

What has been the best part of your week? Have you managed to get into the Christmas spirit at home yet?

The week ahead

We're at home in the houseboat right now, and this week we'll have a Christmas travel article from one of our guest writers. We will continue to pick up cities and places that we have visited during the year - but that we haven't had time to write about yet. Don't miss it!
