We went to Oskarshamn to celebrate Christmas with Matts' family. We arrived to a snow white and cold town, but on Christmas day it started to rain and everything was just wet wet wet. But then, the temperature crept below freezing once more and we had a thin layer of snow so it was once more beautiful (and really slippery).Here are some pictures. First, the Christmas tree and some of the gifts. In Sweden, the tradition is that the gifts are placed under the tree and opened on Christmas eve, sometime between the big Christmas dinner, Donald Duck on TV and the dessert.
Matts and his niece were so happy it finally was Christmas eve...
This is the Christmas candy that Matts and I made a few days before Christmas. Yummy! On Christmas eve, Santa came by with some additional gifts.
Matts and I took a walk in Oskarshamn and this is the town seen from one side of the harbor. Oskarshamn is situated right by the sea and from here you can take the ferry to Gotland, the biggest island in Sweden.
