It's my first Christmas in New Zealand coming up and, being Scandinavian, I can't help but dreaming about cold and dark days, sitting inside with lots of candles and drinking warm mulled wine, or Glögg, as we call it in Sweden. 1st Sunday in December, 1st of Advent, is when it all starts. People in Scandinavia take out their candle holders with four candles, lighting one for each Sunday before Christmas, stars and electric candles lit up the windows, and you invite friends over for pre Christmas drinks.
We have had the most stunning summer days here in Auckland lately and I absolutely love it. I really think I can get used to the idea of a warm and summery Christmas, but I just have to dream away every now and then.
So here's some inspiring Scandinavian Christmas ideas, that would work well in this part of the world too!
