This is fun.

I really do like Christmas and all the shopping and everything. I just didn’t realize that first Sunday in Advent is less then a week away. In my mind I would say it’s still 4 or 5 weeks left until first Sunday in Advent. Yeah, no need to hurry.

But OK. I was wrong. So I do need to hurry.

Blev det fel i huvudet nu?

…as Kalle usually ask me when things don’t turn out the way I want it to and I get upset. I can be a control freak sometimes, I admit.

I’ve made a list.

  • Advent wreath. It’s a must.
  • Moravian star. Also a must.
  • I would also like electric advent wreaths to put in the windows.
  • Recipe for mulled wine (glögg). I’ve never made it myself. Only bought the ready-to-drink-bottles…
  • Gingerbread would be nice.
  • …and saffron buns!
  • Red table cloths
  • Lots of candles
  • I want Julmust badly, but I guess I have to do without that this year.
  • Some kind of Christmas decorations… maybe a small artificial Christmas tree?
  • Christmas gifts for our guests and gifts to send to family and friends
  • Christmas cards and stamps (I need to send them soon I guess…)
  • Find out more about the local Christmas traditions
  • Send my Christmas wish-list to Santa

Kalle asked me earlier today what I wanted to do this coming weekend. Now I know. Shopping!

Is there anyone who can help me with recipe for homemade Glögg?
