The Yule season always creeps up on you. You start getting the first presents, then put up the outdoor lights for the long polar nights. It is a time when staying indoors seems to get more cosy, and listening to Yule music or reading a book seems to be the most natural thing to do.
The off course it is time to take care of the baking. Having the right amount of just the right cookies that tastes like yule to You is of the utmost importance.
Tasting them is just as important. What if the cookies are not perfect? 😉
Yule is a time for showing the people you care about that little extra attention. Finding the perfect gift that will put that extra wide smile on someones face is always a challenge. It seems that these days people forget that and just buy more.
Then on to the next big question. Will last years dress still fit or not? Finding just the right outfit with the right amount of festive sparkles might be a challenge on it’s own.
Sometimes kids may not want to wear what you want them to, but as long as they are happy it will be a precious memory anyway.

Finally the day is here. The house is fully decorated. The family is all dressed up and Yule dinner is in the oven. The kids are poking and shaking the presents under the tree. The guests will arrive any minute.
Then it is finally time for the presents!
We hope you all had or will have
Happy Holidays and a Happy new year!
