Christmas in Stockholm 24th December 2009

Normally most countries would be celebrating their Christmas on the 25th of December which is quiet common but somehow the Swedish has always celebrate their Christmas on the 24th December.

 Every year we would usually book a cottage in a ski resort to celebrate our Christmas together but somehow this year we decided to stay in Stockholm.

Indeed it has been a nice white christmas with full of snow this year.

Decorated the house with red christmas flowers and candles everywhere. Lighting around the windows which brings the christmas atmosphere. The small green santa card, a brown santa sitting and a white santa candle in the green pant was done by Gabriel in School.

Elrener help to start the fire on the fire place as the house felt cold now during the winter time. 

This year we did not have a Christmas tree since the space is limited in the house and we just had the

presents for the children
