Third Sunday of Advent

The third Sunday of Advent is the day when we make all the Christmas cookies and candies. We gather family and, sometimes, friends and do this.

We still put together a gingerbread house and decorates it.

 

We also make knäck which is one of my favourite Christmas treat. It is not the easiest thing to pour into the tiny, tiny forms but when done right, they are really tasty.

And a type of saffron buns we call Lussekatter. Actually we usually do these for Lucia, the 13th December, but we sometimes do them for Christmas too.

We also make chokladbollar which roughly translates to chocolate balls.

Another, newer tradition we added to our Christmas goodies are Mozartkugeln. Our version of Mozartkugeln consists of a small cube of nougat rolled in a small ball of almond paste that is then dipped in chocolate. This is another one of my favourites.

And of course we play a lot o Christmas music :)
