Christmas time is upon us, and this is really the only time where I get a bit homesick. Not in the sense that I want to go home, no, then I'd probably just leave for home on Friday. My problem is the christmas food! Granted a turkey is nice, and I'd probably get that in Denmark as well, but what about the "brown'ed" potatoes, the special pickled "asier" and the red cabbage dish that follow it.  Also afterwards the rise pudding ("ris a la mande") with the almond competition is missing. The dish has an almond in it and the person who gets it wins a present, funny enough somehow it is usually one of the kids that wins. After that we have marzipan sweets and speciality cakes, of which I luckily can get some in Ikea. But the night snack, pickled herring, is impossible to find.

I also find it strange why people have a christmas trees here!! Why!! Is it only there to be looked at? They don't even dance around it like we would do in Denmark. Oh, and christmas is on the 24th of December in the evening as well!

Hmn, I better stop now, or else I'll get too hungry and homesick for my own good…

I just realised that there is only 2 months to Christmas today!

Scary when thinking of all the things I need to do before (not even considering work related stuff 😉
