    Does Germany celebrate on the 24th or the MORE BORING 25th?

    ”we” used to eat on the 25, 26 or 27 *googling*
     

    lutfisk (Swedish, pronounced [ˇlʉːtfɪsk] in Sweden and Finland; Finnish: lipeäkala [ˈlipeæˌkɑlɑ]) is a traditional dish of some Nordic countries. It is traditionally part of the Christmas feast: the Norwegian julebord and Swedish julbord, as well as the similar Finnish joulupöytä.

    It is made from aged stockfish (air-dried whitefish), or dried and salted whitefish (klippfisk), and lye (lut). It is gelatinous in texture. Its name literally means 'lye fish'.

    Since the 70s in my family there’s been a massive Christmas Eve party.  Obviously its not held at my grandparents house anymore but the tradition carries on at an Aunt’s house.  We cant make it up there this year but im sure it will be fun.  

    Tonight is a huge assortment of food that my wife has been making all day.  Tomorrow is smoked salmon and eggs for breakfast as per tradition up there lol.

    My day started at 4:15 AM. My daughter wanted to tell me that she wanted me to open her gift she got for me before I opened my stocking. 

    Okay. 

    Then, since my husband fell asleep on the couch, she pulled the blankets back on his side, climbed in and fell asleep. I fell asleep after a bit and awoke to her reaching out to hold my hand. 

    She woke me up at 5 AM to tell me she wanted to put her Christmas gifts out. "K, hang on."

    5:45 AM, she heard my husband up, went and put her stuff out then he told her to go back to bed. 

    7 AM she came to tell me it was time to get up. 

    You see, she is 16. I think she sees her years of youth quickly slipping away. She was just trying to treasure every moment. I wanted to allow her to do that. We are glad that she wants to do that. 

    That was the best gift ever. Loved to see her still so very excited to give as well as receive.

    Merry Christmas 🎄 to all who celebrate the day and to those who do not.  Sending warm thoughts and good vibes out, especially to those who are alone or unable to be with family this year.  

    May 2021 hold a brighter future for all of us.  May this past year, and the lessons that we learned, allow us all to be kinder to each other.  You never know what someone is going through.  To those of us who have lost family and friends during this past year, I hope that their memory will be a blessing.

    Cheers,

    S.
