Between us we dragged it back through the snow, then erected and decorated the tree. With the candles lit, it gave it such a Christmassy feeling as the presents built up under the tree and in Santas sack.
The afternoon of the 24th December we ate a traditional Swedish Christmas meal. The starter was sill (herring),potatoes which we ate while singing songs and drinking snaps. The main course was a delicious cured ham, moose meatballs, vegetables, prunes and salad with different sauces accompanied with beer, red wine and Julmust.
Santa Claus later took the sack on the evening of the 24th and then returned it and greeted the family, which was great fun, I'm sure I recognized him but it couldn't of been, it was definatly Santa. We all opened our presents through the lovely evening we had.

I love your shots of getting the tree! I especially liked your shot of the sun through the snow covered trees! That's a fabulous shot that gives everything a great golden softness.
I actually got to have some herring both pickled and creamed at a friend's house this Christmas (From jars of course since we can't get them anywhere around here fresh.). I grew up with that as a kid since one of my grandfathers absolutely loved herring.
