Tinseltown, good luck with presenting your course. Public speaking can be tough, but if you are passionate about what you are presenting, that does make it easier. Christmas well-wishes sent your way.

Tinseltown, I also like the idea of having the Post-Christmas nibble party. As much as I would love eating all of the cookies, fudge, and treats from the holidays, I can't and shouldn't. Sharing is a much better idea. On that note, I think I feel like an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie!

I did add a Christmas in July countdown timer to my website. What fun it will be to bring together friends and family!

That is what St. Knut´s Day is for in Sweden. We will have the undecorating ceremony tomorrow (the undecorating of the kitchen tree) followed by popcorn and hot chocolate. Then for dinner, we will have a small smoked ham in a potatoe casserole with other treats sent to me by a dear Facebook friend in Germany. That post Christmas gift was such a surprise! We were wishing there was more to the "undecorating ceremomy" than just taking down the ornaments but have not come up with anything. The only thing I found on the net was a universalist church took their wednesday night activities and renamed them "undecorating ceremony" for the purpose of well, undecorating on the wednesday after new year´s. Clever idea if I were still a church admin.

I rather liked my kitchen tree. Just need to find a proper star of something to go on top and get some proper ornaments. In July it shall be reincarnated as the Christmas in July tree! Woohoo!

The undecorating ceremony was almost reuined by a lack of hot chocolate. I did not realize that no one sent us any american chocolate this year. I found one packet of unsweetened and we found 1 packet of swedish chocolate, so we were saved. The apartment is now de-christmatized.

I also noticed that by a strange quirk of the calendar, this year, Lent starts only 3 weeks after the end of Christmas on the swedish calendar.

Hoping all my Christmas friends stay healthy or get well soon!

Noel, I am praying that you and your family get back to health as quickly as possible. Take care of yourselves my Christmas friend.

A great weekend winds down as on Saturday night we had friends over for drinks. Instead of playing games we actually put together a puzzle! It was a nice relaxing evening. While chatting, one of our friends told us about their tradition of opening a small puzzle in their stocking Christmas morning. The family would then have a contest to see who could finish their puzzle first. I thought that sounded fun!

The Patriots won their playoff football game tonight! Great job guys! A late Christmas present.

I have an interview with a recruiter today. Though I did not get as much sleep as I would like, I hope I do well enough to get passed onto the potential employer. Praying for that Christmas miracle!

Hope all my Christmas friends are getting well or stay healthy!
