Julafton

Did not have time to sit down and relax in the morning for sure. Started the day with cooking the porridge and while it was cooking I prepared the pate.
Then we got time to enjoy the lovely porridge. As stated before, it tasted just as it should.
After that I got I little break, so I sat down with Aida in front of the TV and peeled potatoes. Just managed to finish chopping the ‘tatoes for the Janson, when Mummy came back with the mince meat. So I could start on the meatballs.
Than I finally got a real break, so I went and listened to some Christmas music, didn’t manage to make me feel very Christmassy though. Just some few more preparations needed for the lunch. Not too bad either, but you can hardly fail with bought herring and boiled potatoes.
Clean up after lunch and than we opened the presents. Aida’s favorite one was the play-dough. Adam didn’t like his singing dinosaur at all, but he really liked the paper and strings laying on the floor.

After getting the kids to sleep I watched a Swedish movie, “Sällskapsresan” not having “Tomten är far till alla barnen”. So it had to do.
After that I went and dug out “Lars Christmas” with Lars Vegas Trio and sat and sang along to the songs. Aaah that was nice.
Prepared the dinner and listened to some more Christmas music and just relaxed.
Not really feeling very Christmassy though. Too much missing. I will definitely not do as much next Malaysian Christmas, maybe a Janson and porridge just to remember it is Christmas.
