Just now, I am in love with Stockholm. I am happy because it is almost Christmas, but more than that, I think the city is beautiful with all the snow and holiday happenings. Stores are packed, the streets are busy. The energy is great everywhere you go. Here are a few photos from around town.

Hi Sandra! Hope you had a great Christmas – I am continuing to experience Sweden vicariously through your website and I have to admit, these sort of photos make me want to go there even more! It looks so beautiful! Home-made glögg, lussekatter, and our Swedish smörgåsbord are lovely, but just not the same here in Australia lol…

Thanks Christian. Actually, I have to say that I enjoy Christmas in Oz as well! I think a mix of both would be great.
