Christmas is on its way...

...with large HO-HO-ing steps. On sunday christmas spirit will finally set in as the christmas eve-countdown starts (because it is of course christmas eve that is something to celebrate, not christmas day). The very first Advent sunday is on approach. I will spend it enjoying the happy spirit in Lund, especially at Kulturen, our city cultural museum. Every year they put on a heavy christmas-y thing with saffron rolls, glögg (hot snaps with spices and sugar, served with raisins and almonds), ginger bread making/decoration, straw goats and general weird random things bring out a happy spirit from the crowds.

Yesterday I put up my only christmas decoration, the christmas lights on my balcony (joining the heather plants and and spruce twigs), and in my window my two hyacinth bulbs are sending out green sprouts, hopefully filling my apartment with a nice smell in time for christmas. However, I am not so sure if cute cat likes them though. Every day coming home from my course, I have found them both on the floor, outside their pots. But I am persistent, putting them back, and hoping that cute cat's will won't prevail mine. For once.
