On the 23:rd my sister and her family came over to celebrate an early Christmas as she was working on the 24th. We ate so we couldn't move but it was a very nice time catching up and just hanging out!
Then on the 24th we celebrated the real Christmas (in Sweden we celebrate on the 24th, not the 25th) at home with my grandmother, starting with the Donald Duck Christmas Special at 3pm. After the show we ate again and by 7:30pm it was finally time for the presents!
My grandmother is great but she is getting old now, yet she got plenty of energy. The problem is, she needs to be entertained every second. If you or someone don't talk to her for a moment or sit with her, she gets irritated! And there is not much to do during this holiday. It's cold outside, stores are either closed or packed, depending on the day, and there are only so much you can talk about! And, as with many old people, she puts the TV so freaking loud that your ears are ringing afterwards! And with age comes the whole forgetting part... But I'm happy that she is healthy, lives on her own and still going strong!
I hope you all have a continuos happy holiday!
Cheers my friends!
Camilla
