God Jul!
I'm just back from a very cold (-13 degrees Celsius but according to the weatheretwork supposed to feel like -22) walk to the tram station with my brother and his wife to see them off. We've had a pretty wonderful Christmas Eve here in Gothenburg, and thank god my sister and I travelled up here on the 21st. Since the there has been nothing but reports on the train chaos, and more snow, in the very south of Sweden. Instead we've been up here, cooking and shopping and trying to sort out the last bits of Christmas preparations. Dad has't been too bad these last couple of days so that's good. We've really cut down on the usual Christmas food fare, and even skipped the ham which made things a bit more simple. There might be lutfisk and rice porridge tomorrow though.
Best present? Well, definitely the black Russian fur hat which I got from mum after all. I didn't think they'd been able to find it in time. And it so stood the test of the late night walk this evening, what a difference it made.
I've started reading Donna Andrews' Murder with Peacocks, which I'm enjoying a lot so far. Perfect escape when I get 10 minutes away from the family. And I'm really looking forward to
yuletide , eve if I probably won't have time to check out the fic until next week.
