Skansen Christmas market

Skansen's Christmas market is only open Saturdays and Sundays the four weekends before Christmas.  The only downside to this market is paying for the entrance to Skansen, but it's worth it because you have access to all of Skansen and they have a lot going on.  Everything at Skansen is outside with fire pots everywhere to warm up and a lot of space so it never feels too crowded.

After polishing off three charcoal buns (see below) between the five of us and some chicken soup we were too full to try the flat bread cones filled with elk meat and potatoes (ok, Gordon would have been the only one to eat that!).  They did look really good though!

Singing and dancing around the Christmas tree, everyone gets into it!

beautiful woven scarves and socks

....like selling snow to an Eskimo?!

My favorite Swedish food so far!  The girls loved it too.  Cannot believe we never ran across this idea in all our years of camping!

Cranking out the charcoal buns... always had a big line of customers

what's not to love...  fried bacon and batter.

Topped with lingonberry jam

on the tram on the way home... couldn't help but think of the Knight bus from Harry Potter
