I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas. I never really got the real Christmas feeling, but we had two wonderful days.
On Christmas Eve I was busy busy. Jim was at work and I ran around at home. Laundry, some cleaning, working out and a few other things. J came home around 2pm already which was nice cause he could join me when we skyped with my family. I had a few minutes after that to make a beets salad. We always had a beets-herring salad on the table when I grew up that my grandma made, but I’m fine just making a normal beets salad, I make the same one every year. At 3pm, we started youtube on TV and searched for the Disney Christmas shows that we have in Sweden every year. Couldn’t find exactly everything, just like previous years, but we found the important ones. This Disney hour is perfect for napping which we did:)
And then we started cooking. I made a “Janssons Frestelse” without onion and anchovy, so basically potato with cream, haha. I added a bit of cheese on top to not make it so boring. J heated up a ham with a mustard sauce that turned out really juicy and salty. With this we had biscuits. lettuce and the beets salad. It all turned out perfect, very pleased.
At night we watched Home Alone 2. We watched the first one on Saturday. It’s been so long since I last saw them. They are too funny.

Thor’s Christmas gift for his daddy
Jim gave me a Bag of Unicorn Farts in my stocking
On Christmas Day, I got up early to go feed the neighbors cat (we are watching him for a week). All morning we just snuggled on the couch with a fake “fireplace” on the tv. Listening to the crackles while I did stuff on my laptop and J took a morning nap. Then I baked Swedish chocolate balls. They turned out amazing. J went to the gym and I jumped in the shower. We left Thor and quickly checked on the cat right before 2pm. Took us about half an hour to get to Mikes house (Jim’s boss). Everyone else were running late so we were the first ones there. We were starving but had to wait another two hours til everyone came and food was ready. There were some veggies and crackers out though so it was ok:)
We had a great time. So nice of them to invite us. Feels a little weird maybe to be there with their relatives, but we feel very welcome.
We left around 6. We didn’t wanna leave Thor alone for too long and we had to go feed the cat later too. We finished our night with a movie on HBO. Ready Player One, a Spielberg movie about virtual reality. Kinda interesting but oh so cheesy love crap here and there.
We had a wonderful Christmas. It’s nice to spend so much time with my husband. He worked from home yesterday and will be home tomorrow as well, yay:)
