Now we have real winter in Stockholm. Finally, I say! I know not everyone agrees with me, but I like it when there is a lot of snow and real winter.

We have visited this year's Christmas market in the Old Town, and at least it cheers up a bit in the dark with all the lighting and all the colourful stalls. Unfortunately, we have so far missed the neighbourhood's "living Christmas calendar", but if you're not familiar with the concept, we can tell you how it works.
