Christmas Ornament Swap 2

I got my first Christmas present!!!

It's always nice to get mail from abroad, but especially now with all sad things happening. I've been more depressed and sad after my grandma passed away than I really thought to begin with, as have my aunt it turns out. And on top of allt hat I got sick with the flu or whatever virus it is that is pestering us around here. So as a result of all that I've been "down and out" for a couple of weeks.And then one day there was a note in my mailbox that I should fetch something too big for it from the post office. Hmmmm. And it turned out to be a wonderful parcel from abroad, all the way from America to me, something I almost had forgotten that could arrive. What joy!!

In the middle of the gray and rainy world this wonderful little man popped up from the box and told me to believe.To believe in wonders, life and people. Now I'm sure there will be at least some snow this winter.
Thank you so very much 'Screaming Mimi'
You made my day, week and month.
And thanks for Lisa for arranging this swap.

Vår julkalender

Den här kalendern sydde jag 20 år sedan.
Tajt blev det och hela härligheten var färdig klo 00.30 på natten,
sen var det ännu att pyssla ihop paketena och påsarna,
som skulle hänga i ringarna.
Ibland har det nog varit ganska knepigt, att hitta på 24 st
saker, dessutom med en liten gosse i huset gällde det
att packa allt så, att man inte kunde känna vad det egentligen
fanns inne i det man klämde på.
Sen har det nog blivit mest godiskalender-variant
med olika teman och i år blir det en lakrits -version.
Inga påsar och paket dock, utan fäst i ringarna med vackra band och rosett.
