I hope the third weekend of Advent treated you all well.
Friday night I made meatballs, mashies and cream sauce. We enjoyed the meatballs with lingonberry sauce, so good!
My Christmas list on Spotify is running 100% these days, as it should.
Saturday morning Peter and I took off for the Holiday House and Christmas market in nearby Lucketts, Virginia.
I am telling you all, that place is Christmas heaven on earth!
Yes, tomorrow you guys will see the result of said trip here on the blog.
Again, THAT post will be THE Christmas BOMB if there ever was one đ

Sunday, we got some snow overnight.
SO pretty and it makes me so happy.
I can also tell you, it is COLD! SO bitterly cold. As I write this post it is 16F (-8C), and it is windy. It was just the same on Sunday.
I do like the cold, though. On Thursday it'll be 52F (12C). NO, I am putting in a petition to keep the cold all winter long.
But it has been a much much colder December here than it usually is.
I enjoyed the Lucia procession from Visby in Gotland, Sweden on Saturday morning.
What can I say about that one, just one word!
PERFECTION!!!
Thank you SVT (Swedish Public Television) for this one, it had everything I wanted and more, fantastic choirs, ambiance, the lovely medieval town Visby as a backdrop, the views over the Baltic Sea.
A perfect mix between traditional songs and new arrangements.
I loved that they sang a few songs in the very distinctive Gotlandic dialect.
Believe it or not, I even loved the adorable children’s choir, that was so cute and uplifting.
SVT, this is a ten out of ten Lucia procession. THANK YOU!!!
Have a good Tuesday, y’all!!

SĂ„ kul att ni fick lite snö och sĂ„ jĂ€ttefina bilder du hann ta innan den försvann/försvinner. Har ni minusgrader sĂ„ borde ju lite stanna kvar till plusgraderna tar över. HĂ„ller med att snö och julbelysning gör sig extra fint ihop. Ăr det klimatförĂ€ndringarna som gör att ni har kallare Ă€n normalt tro? Tycker det Ă€r annorlunda med klimatet överallt nu för tiden, lite lĂ€skigt faktiskt.
Visst var LuciasÀndningen fin, ibland kan SVT briljera och nu var en sÄdan gÄng.
Ha en fin tisdag sÀger jag och skickar en stor kram
Ser framemot morgondagen och julbomben du tÀnker slÀppa.
Ha en finfin tisdag!
Stor kram!
Tack för dina fina bilder! Ser fram emot morgondagens inlÀgg, det fÄr nog juleblodet att svalla.
Visst var luciatÄget PERFEKT? Precis vad vi sa hÀr hemma ocksÄ. Verkligen njutbart. Kram pÄ dig!
