Christmas-time is both joy and stress at the same time. The joy - well that is pretty obvious: some free-time together with the family and a lot of nice food, chocolate and lit candles. The stress - well, as usual the clever planning fell apart, due to sick children, unexpected catastrophies at work and other events that appeared like flashes from a clear sky (a Swedish saying for when unexpected things happens without any warning).But after taking some deep breaths things usually can be worked out and Christmas could follow the traditional tracks. The ham took its seven hours in the oven and came out like a masterpiece. The Christmas-tree was decorated and immediately started to spread that magical Christmas-feeling. The family flooded in and everything turned out very well. It was even possible to squeeze in som knitting...
I only got one knitting-related Christmas-present: The very tempting "Knitted Cakes" by Susan Penny. This book offers great ideas to use up all those small balls of left-overs that builds up over the year.
Christmas Day is a "between day" in this house, when we go for long walks, look into the new books and tries the new games. The family is playing golf on the Wii-game and I´m going to start a new knitting project - the last of this year?
