I took this photo in Fremantle, love how the bird was captured at the very right moment.There is something very special about the Swedish Christmas.. The cold temperature, snow fall and lots of candle light in the dark.
In the weeks leading up to Christmas everyone gets busy with their Julbak, which is the Swedish tradition of Christmas baking. It involves getting the whole family together and making all the traditional buns and treats from recipes handed down from generations. While we are busy baking and cooking we make sure to enjoy it all with a large mug of hot Glögg, which is like hot spiced red wine.
The same as many other cultures a lot of our Christmas traditions revolves around food, so I can tell you that I am counting down the days until I’m home with my family to celebrate. We will all share a smörgåsbord of ham, pickled herring, vörtbröd (spiced bread), prinskorvar (small sausages), meatballs and gubbröra (anchovy with egg) amongst many other specialties.
God Jul everyone!
