Every December I write a post a day to share my love of the festive season. My Scandinavian heritage is largely to blame for my enthusiasm for this time of year and those of you who read this blog may remember that I began blogging originally just at Christmas time so that there was a record of our family traditions and all the recipes for my children to follow in years to come should they so wish, helping to keep the traditions alive.
Today is day 9 so I cannot share all posts but I will pick out 5 photos from five different blog posts so far this month in case you are interested...

DeleteI think the traditions passed down from generation to generation are one of the things which make us civilized. At heart we're all the same, but the different ways of living and celebrating are the trimmings. Thank you for sharing.
