It is not the amount of money you spend on a gift that matters. It is that you gave a gift, even if it is something you made yourself you are a winnner!

Every year I bring out all of the wonky, cotton wool, glitter and painted pasta
home made Christmas cards that my sons so lovingly made at school.
Also 2 competing Christmas fairies with paper wings that keep falling off.

Lack of traditions in our family is what makes our Christmas Eves so predictable - we never know from one year to the next what's going to happen. And that's what makes this Christmas so special - we gather the family on 24th Christmas Eve just like most families do and that is a wonderful Christmas gift.
Vegetarian Christmas in Kota Kinabalu with nephew and his girlfriend, who's Norwegian so we are doing Christmas on the 24th. Maybe scuba diving Christmas day. Anyway have a good one, one and all.

Don’t you usually eat the same traditional sort of foods on Christmas Eve? This was something that my mother always prepared. The menu was predictable and started with borsch, then a fish dish and then a rice dish, each served with a tomato based sauce; one cold and the other hot.

We still have some of the usual Swedish food but have also replaced parts of it with food from other cultures. The traditional Swedish Christmas food is like a 'smörgåsbord' (smorgasbord).
