But we had one here recently too.

It’s like Christmas when the family comes visiting. Very nice, thank you very much. I’ll visit you next year as revenge, so do be warned. Oh. what nice cookies you have baked! Let me just cook some coffee so that I have some hot water to dip them in before I try to chew these dangerous things. I lost a tooth last year, you know.

Anyway, that’s what Swedish Christmas is like. We never asked for it. Some German priests came a 1000 years ago and introduced it. We used to celebrate Freja, the God of Love. Or actually the God of Sex as it were to be frank, in the midwinter darkness. That’s why we eat ‘saffron buns” (but without the saffron back then), and that’s a tradition that has not yet been eradicated. It is baked in a shape that represents the God of Sex, with two parts intertwined.
