AN ABSOLUTELY QUIET ONE...
Yeah! Only the 3 of us at home as the BIG Kiddo, as a chef had a long pass duty at one of Sweden's Famous Bern's Hotel/Restaurant. He finished his duty at 23.30 and came home 00.30 am.
That's our Christmas Eve usually celebrated. My 3 cousins celebrates theirs with their lovely family and during New Year we gather together to welcome the New Year. This year ( a week today) is my turn to invite them all. We'll let see what will be the outcome, then?
As of now, please join me our quiet celebration...
A quite long story thru pictures and in this way, I can relate the simply Swedish "JUL" normal living...
