Swedish Christmas celebration

Swedish Farmor with WC and his cousin.
 To celebrate a real Swedish traditional Christmas evening, we went to Aunt and Uncle Nilsson's house outside of Stockholm.

Plenty of spruce and fur trees heavy with snow. And the streets are as white as the surrounding.

Our son, watching for when Santa is supposed to arrive.
Our hosts, Aunt and Uncle Nilsson, with the delicacies prepared for a traditional Swedish julbord - a seasonal form of a smorgasbord. Lots of herring, pickled herring, salmon, achovis, Jansson's temptation, ham etc etc.
Two cousins enjoying gingerbread cookies and milk.
