Hello everybody!

This is Linnea R who's writing. I remember my last Christmas which I celebrated in Sweden. The biggest difference from here was that they celebrated Christmas the 24th of December instead of the 25th, weird huh?

Tomorrow all my relatives will come to visit me and my family. I’m really looking forward to the lunch with turkey, some good wine, and the fabulous dessert, pudding or yule log. I hadn’t got any clue that yule log was a Swedish desert until I was there last Christmas; I thought it was developed in Scotland and look how wrong I was… I’m a bit disappointed, because normally we always watch the Wizard of Oz every Christmas evening, but this year my family has received some stupid idea to make a change and watch Sound of Music instead, Actually it was my little brother who came up with the stupid idea. All right, I know that most people watch Sound of music, but we always watch Wizard of Oz, and I don’t like to change traditions!

Anyhow, that makes me think about another really funny thing with the Swedish Christmas. They watch Donald Duck in the afternoon I’m not sure what time exactly, I think three a clock, but I might be wrong on that one. Donald Duck on Christmas? How strange isn’t that? Well, maybe it’s time to go to bed now, so Christmas day arrives quickly. I’m expectant to see what my presents will contain.

Good Night from the Scottish girl!
