Christmas (Jul) have passed and its a new year. A few more days is considered Jul still so I am going to enjoy that time with the decorations. 🎄🎅🏻

God Jul Och Ett Gott Nytt År till er alla i efterskott! 🎄🎊🥂✨🎁

Här är en konstig grej! En julnovell på svenska! Jag har inte skrivit på svenska på sjukt länge, men jag skrev en julnovell som julklapp till min bokklubb och tänkte att va fan, jag prövar att posta den till Ao3 utifall att! Kanske nån vilsen själ som kan läsa svenska känner för en novell om att inte fira jul, men ändå ha det rätt bra och tycka om sig själv!

För två-tre jular sen läste min bokklubb en sån där mysig julbok om en kvinna som åkte till landet och fann kärleken lagom till jul. Vi pratade då om hur det aldrig handlar om nån som åker till storstan och upptäcker vad kul det är med karriär. Det där dröjde kvar i mig. Efter ett antal falskstarter, är detta vad som hände! Jag gillar den, och tycker den är en fin historia som ändå passar i juletider, och inte dissar julen helt, även om det faktiskt inte firas jul "på riktigt" i historien.

Glad Lucia. This is Dalarnas Lussibrud seen in Säters church.

God Jul, Merry Christmas, Happy Yule!

Had a great Christmas Eve with some traditional swedish and finn-swedishs food. Opened presents, had swedish fika with glögg. Enjoyed laughs and just had a relaxed, good time.

Today its been studies all day. And some time to just relax, decorate the house and enjoying the day. Finally some tomtegröt (porridge). In old Sweden, porridge was often put out for the house elf at Christmas (he looked like a smal gray santa). ✨

In nordic mythology, the house elf is a small being that looks like an old man with a long beard. They are usually dressed in gray and have a gray or red beanie. House elves are strong and good at work. They live close to people, usually in a stable or a barn, but sometimes in the same house as the people. A house elf is grumpy and doesn't want to be seen. But secretly he keeps track so that the people are kind to the animals and take care of the farm in a good way. If the people take care of themselves, they can get help from the house elf with many of the chores on the farm, and the elf creates security on the farm. But if the people, for example, don't give the animals enough food, they can suddenly get a kick in the ass, or an slap from someone they can't see. Then it's the house elf who is on the move and wants them to tighten up. A house elf can be several hundred years old and usually stays on the same farm for several generations of owners. Elves are basically quite friendly and caring creatures, as long as you don't annoy them. To show appreciation and keep house elf happy, people could set out a dish of porridge with a dollop of butter in it on Christmas Eve. Then the house elf was happy. ✨
