Swedish style Christmas.

It was the food.

Meatballs, sausages, kroppkakor* (pork stuffed potato dumplings), ham, worted bread, cheeses, Janson (potato and anchovies gratin), pickled herring in five differently flavorings, ginger snaps, saffron buns, dark sweet lagers, ... 
And the grandparents.

(Not as impressed by US edition standard-issue Christmas turkey)

*yes, I'm from that corner of the country 
 @fd02adc6 @3fe52772 Grew up with Swedish Christmas but don’t do the meats anymore & funny, I never liked kroppkakor 😆 . What I did love is my Grandma’s Swedish cookies of all types 😋
