Christmas Eve

Welcome to our Julafton - Christmas Eve in Swedish.

 Lily's samples the xmas food... ☺

 

My MIL and my uncle.

Hubby's last minute organising...

Traditional Swedish Christmas food 

Ham, meatballs, salmon, beetroot salad, pickled herring, jellied veal with beetroot, 

egghalves with mayo and cod roe. Oops, almost forgot ...Jansson's Temptation as well.

A real treat for all of us Swedes - and for the Aussies too☺

 

 My uncle and his lovely wife dropped by for a visit this Christmas.
They live in Sweden.

It was an awesome Christmas present as I haven't seen them in three years.

My other uncle and his lovely wife, who live here in Australia, 

also stopped by and celebrated a Swedish Christmas with us.

Christmas is all about family. 

I'm so happy that I had my two uncles 

(my mum's younger brothers ) 

here with me on Christmas Eve, to share this with my kids, 

hubby and his side of the family was fantastic.

Later on I spoke to my mum on Skype. 

She's visiting my brother in England.

Even though she's far away, 

Skype makes it more bearable☺

(Merry Christmas) 

from all of us!
