This year's first julbord

Julbord is like a Swedish smorgasbord just more Christmas. Like we have our big thing which is Christmas Ham and that is a must! Also spare ribs, janssons frestelse (Jansson's temptation which doesn't tempt me) and so much more. Of course meatballs, herring, desserts and candy.
Just a small part of the julbord


I was invited to the Viking line (cruise line) to attend their premier julbord together with other VIP's. This was for me + one. So my friend I also on my board with the Rheumatic ass. went. It was grand, it was tasty and I couldn't do it justice at all. I'm sorry but smorgasbord or julbord is not for me. I can't eat that much so I just take the things I like on one plate. Then I take a little plate for desserts. But most people can go 3,4,5,6,7 or more times and take more. I don't know how they can eat that much.
Ingvor is the one closest to the window.


Anyway it was a nice lunch and we also got a Christmas gift which is a universal charger for mobile phones and is supposed to fit all phones. It did fit mine.

Before I went I was interviewed on the phone for a magazine about my commitment with the Rheumatic association. They wanted to interview me as an enthusiast and role model for others.
Now I just have to have a good photo of myself which they want for the interview.
Not this one though :-)
This is Santa's throne



Tomorrow we have a member meeting where we will talk about SLE (Lupus) and Sjogren's. As usual we will serve soup but this time Ingvor made it. And directly after that we have a board meeting.

On Saturday our friends Johnny and Anne will come over for lunch. That will be nice since we haven't seen them for a while due to their illness.

And tonight we have a wonderful full moon
Take care of each other and to all my American family I wish you a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING! And although we don't celebrate that at all here in Sweden I'm thankful for having you in my life.

Anyone??

I wonder if anyone can see and read my blogg? I haven't had any comments in so long that's why I ask. Erik didn't win a Grammy last night but he had a blast and he and his fiancé looked just great! Another Swede, Ludwig Göransson, won 3 prices though. Congrats to him.

Hello December

This month started with a tax education, yeah :-) in Uppsala. Since we don't have a goverment yet due to the chaotic political scene after the election, no one actually knows what's going to happen with taxes. It's just guesses. The day after we had Christmas celebration at the Rheumatic district of Stockholm. It was a lot of fun, good food and nice to meet everyone :-) And on Saturday it was time for Christmas lunch with my own Rheumatic local association. We were around 30 members incl. Eddie and Mandy. We had a lot of good food and we had the party at a local hotel here in Väsby in Bredden. There were two other children there so I bought them each a Christmas gift and they were very happy for what they got from the Rheumatic Santa Claus.

NEW YEAR

I left you in December just before Christmas with a beginning cold. And of course it bloomed the rest of my leave from work. So I decided to stay home another week so my first day in the new year was yesterday :-) Even if I felt ill we had a lot of fun during Christmas and New Year. The day before Christmas Eve Jonas, Mandy and Eddie came. We did the last Christmas decorations, ate together and had a good time before going to bed. They slept over so in the morning we all had a wonderful Christmas breakfast which, of course, included Christmas porridge (which we only eat once a year) made of rice and to that we had the obligatory Christmas ham sandwich with mustard. This is so good and when you have this you know it's Christmas. Of course I bought the ham from an organic farm where I have been myself. They actually also have a recording studio on the ground so Jonas has been there several times recording bands. Therefore I know the pigs are well kept and have the best lives t...
