The Christmasification of chez Emma continued today! Several things, including a Christmas teddy and the electric advent candles I keep in my kitchen window, made their appearance, as did the little tomtar above (which were the only thing I could get a decent picture of). I think I blogged about tomtar for last years [...]

Christmas came, and Christmas went (as you may have noticed). It was a rather lovely Christmas. The food was fantastic, and (though I will avoid going on a long spiel about my awesome presents) I now own all 11 of Leonard Cohen’s studio albums (as opposed to the 8 I owned before). I spent a [...] Now that I’m back in town and have had a couple of days to recover from Christmas, update my wishlist for next year, find space for the presents in the apartment and the leftovers in the fridge, not forgetting the pre-Christmas gone post-Christmas cleaning of the flat, I finally have the energy to sit down [...] No energy for words tonight (stupid stomach *grumble*), so here’s some Christmassy pictures
My little quad of Christmas bears <3
The result of quite some time (and effort) spent wrapping. I'm not very good at it, as mentioned.
And to round off, some awesome tomtar (Swedish santas) that [...] Last weekend I showed you guys the little Christmas tree that I bought at a market because I thought it was “Bjd-sized”. Well… when you put your pukipuki (10 cm dolls, one of the smallest lines available) next to it and they’re taller, you know that you need to re-evaluate what “Bjd-sized” means to you. [...] This weekend there was finally some proper snow here in Stockholm. Not a great deal of it, but just enough to really bring that feeling of impending Christmas. I do love the snow. I love how it lights up the world and make it pretty, and I love how it looks when it falls. Especially [...] It would strike me as a bit of a waste to have a whole advent blog calendar and not take the opportunity to babble for a bit about the art-science hybrid that is exchanging holiday gifts (though of course most of what I’ll say will apply to non-holiday gifts as well). Since my currently rather [...] I wanted to spend a bit of time telling you about lussebullar, a traditional Swedish Christmas-time bun. Lussebullar (lusse buns) are also sometimes called lussekatter (lusse cats) or saffransbröd (saffron bread). As two of those names somewhat suggest, the bun has a connection with St Lucia’s Day (for reasons unknown to me). They are absolutely [...] This time of year, the couple of weeks before Christmas, is the highpoint of the company Christmas dinner season. Actually, now that I think about it, some places will offer Christmas dinners even in November but this is still the highpoint of the occurance. If you dare hang out in the inner city this time [...] |
