Today I was in the city and there are more and more lights, even on NK (the big department store) so it's official now: the countdown to Christmas has started.On Friday I will drink my först glögg (warm wine similar to Glühwein in Germany for instance) of the year!!! Yay!!
On TV, commercials related to Christmas have started to be broadcast.
The traditional food like Lussekatte have appeared in the shops.
The newspapers are full with advertising with "Julbord" commercials. Jul means Christmas in Swedish and bord means table. A julbord is a typical buffé dinner with A LOOOOOT of food and many special meals only made in December, like a special bread or a special way to prepare the ham for instance. This is sooooo good and usually you eat enough for the rest of the week. But to be able to eat that much, you have to adopt some strategies and be ready to leave some dishes in order to take more from the others for instance. Another technique is to take rounds: first the herrings, then warm dishes, then cheese, and in the end "Rice à la Malta", it's a must! Most of the companies have a julbord for their employees, wonder if we'll have one and when we'll have it in that case... mmmmh, am hungry now!!!
