...is day of feasting. As "always" we did not have to take that many steps across the street to join John&Jan and their family&friends for a great feast. The bar war sitting higher this year after the "risgrynsgröt" article. But, I hope I was able to deliver - again.
As for John, anything he touches turns in to a great meal. Yes, he does have good helpers, and he spends time, but at the end, it is always good. Thanks guys for another splendinf evening!
For Americans, this 4-day weekend is just as sacred -and filled with food - as the long Christmas holiday in Sweden. There is one big difference though. As where in Sweden one can rest and relax on the 25th and 26th of December after feasting on the 24th, Americans are up before dawn in order to get the best "deals" on the very first day of the holiday shopping (day after Thanksgiving, aka "Black Friday").
I read some articles that people had started lining up at 12.30PM on Thursday afternoon in order to get "that" laptop or "the" game console. Heck, is it really worth screwing up the only real extened weekend of the year and forego all the food and friends, for an electronic "gizmo", that can just as well be bought a few days later. Or even better, when one really needs it.
