We woke up to snow, heavy snow and I can not tell you how happy it makes me, the girls jumped out of bed and we have been watching the heavy snowflakes with joy. I had lots of plans for today including a trip to IKEA. Apparently, IKEA is quiet this time of the year, new kitchens and homewares are not on people's minds. Well if you are a Swede, homewares is always on your mind, and IKEA here we come... but then Nah I am not going to drive to IKEA this morning, maybe later today if the snow clears but at this very moment I will stay cosy indoors. A little bit of Christmas crafts and a little bit of baking and I think we got ourselves a pretty good Christmas prep day, oh let us not forget a Christmas film.
In Sweden, we have a word for a day like today, Christmas prep, "Julstök" Jul is Christmas and stök is a word for the mess you make when you are doing something.
