nu är det jul igen

decorated our flat last night, and this morning i went for a quick visit to the annual swedish holiday fair here in sf. now i feel quite festive and cozy. sometimes the whole camera thing gets annoying though. these little kids are all processing down the aisle to the stage singing lucia songs, and flashes are going off like a lightening storm. parents videotaping in the aisle. not that i didn't also take pictures, but sometimes i miss the old days when we weren't all paparazzi. lucia is all about the candles in saint lucia's hair lighting the dark winter night and about the singing (and the cookies). so it kind of ruins the mood when flashes go off every other second. so much for darkness and ambiance. still, it was nice to hear the swedish holiday songs and have a splash of glögg.
