December 1st - serving up holiday cheer with glögg and pepparkaka on the trams |
Everyone celebrates Christmas with a Julbord (special Christmas meal - served at most restaurants) |
30 adults from SIS participated in the SS Stockholm's Julbord this year on December 6th - a buffet serving many kinds of pickled herring, salmon, meats, sides and desserts |
Advent stars adorn almost every window in Stockholm at this time of year |
We smartly went to Gardet for a Christmas tree this year... this year's tree only cost us 500sek vs. 2,000sek last year |

Lucia celebrations are everywhere (schools, churches, malls) in the days surrounding December 13th (the official Lucia holiday). Audra did a great job as Lucia for SIS this year |
