Home Again




Well seems I'm finally home again not that this means the end of my blog though. So I've just had a fantastic and undescibable year in Sweden learnt the language, met the people and my friends all over the world for life. It was really strange coming back at first but now everything is starting to click in to place.

Christmas in Sweden

Well just thought I should better do at least one last blog before returning home not to say that this is the last just that it quite possibly could be. I figured what better topic then christmas for this post since this year I had my very first white christmas which i have to say was absolutely beautiful beyond belief. Also I had my first real christmas tree which I got to help chop down. Definately more fun than those plastic ones we get back home. One thing I noticed about christmas here in Sweden is that it jumps up more suddenly then in Australia it was the 20th December before I really even start thinking about christmas but from the 21st to the 29th christmas was a solid family affair with my host families son his wife and daughter and my host dad's father coming to stay and doing nothing between those days but enjoying each others company in coversation and activities. Well the fact is I had a wonderful christmas and here is what I managed to capture of it.
