Thank you - all the best to you from a snow covered Stockholm. :)

And a blessed Christmas to you!

Thank you and the blessings of the season to you.

Thank you Pearl.

We celebrate Christmas as traditionally as possible in our family. We take a few traditions from Sweden and a few from England. This makes quite a good mix.

There are some beautiful Mediaeval Churches here in which to celebrate. Some of them have traces of the Viking culture. Rune stones built into the walls and beautiful artefacts inside the church.

Each year I threaten to have a Christmas precisely as we do in England. That is we have to wait until Christmas Day to open the gifts. That happens on Christmas Eve here. You can imagine the glum faces, even though they know I’m only joking.

Best wishes of the season to you Este, coming from Western Australia in the summer time, where there's definitely no snow whatsoever!

Thank you Maewyn,

All the best to you and yours.

Having a warm and sunny Christmas sounds very exotic to me. Mariole mentioned that you have Christmas-pudding flavoured ice cream in Australia. That actually sounds scrumptious.

I haven't tried it, but there was a dessert that we had one Christmas day which was made by my husband's cousin. It was vanilla ice cream, with brandy-soaked dried fruit mixed into it, then re-frozen. Wicked!

Wicked!

Yum-Yums! I must have a go at making that.

Btw, silly me. It was Aussiepeach that mentioned the Christmas-pudding flavoured ice cream. *blush*

My very best wishes to you too Este in far off snow-covered Stockholm from Taerie in far off snow-covered Tonganoxie. (Sounds sort of exotic like a tropical island but it is just in freezing cold Kansas.:-))

Thank you Taerie.

And now back to the Christmas crazies :D
