Sunrise: 09.33
Sunset. 13.44
2C Sunny very windy
The wind was blowing rather hard and my hood went flapping up and down when I was out. And I remember a funny song by a group named Galningar (Madmen) they are comic actors and also sing funny Christmas song. One of these songs is "At the hop" but their test is "Yes now it is Christmas" And they also sing a song named "Kalle Kotte". it is about a cone in a tree. And then the wind is blowing and they sing "Hej och hå det blåser på". It means that it is blowing.
Now it is winter solstice. At 01.22 the sun was longest away from earth in our area. And now the light will slowly come back. It's because of darkness that we in our Christmas songs have so much test about the light that will come back. And the electric candles in our windows gives us some cosy light in darkness.
I am now (while writing) thinking of Christer Fuglesang. Can he land and will all things go on well. I hope so and pray for it. I will follow the new this evening.
Today I began my Christmas vacation. It was wonderful to be home and be alone or only be with my family. It felt for me the last weeks that I began being burned out. And could not stand it I met grumpy people when I was out to do errands.
I did wrap most of the presents but I will not tell what I exactly did. All things still are secret. I am sitting here smiling when I am thinking about my Christmas page. You can go back and read the last lines at the end. He, he. ;-)
http://www.acc.umu.se/~wschedin/jul-2005.html I also had to do laundry and pick up a lot of things in the apartment. And I baked a pizza of my own that we will eat later in the evening. This day went by so fast.
I got some cards in the post box. One of them was from
idahoswede There were a lot of Christmas puddings on the card. They look delicious. And I went so happy for the card. I like Christmas cards and collect them. I save all cards. It's real fun to look at all the pictures on such cards.
