In Stockholm, the sun rose at 9 and will be back down again at 3. But it's cloudy, so there is no real light anyway, only dusk. But tomorrow there will be a little more light.
Jul starts for me today. Usually, I decorate the tree today, but won't until Sunday this year. I will light a lot of candles and do some not-tree related decorations. And bake an edible Yule log, as our fireplace doesn't work properly.

(I suggest, every year, that we need to choose between having a real tree and putting it up later or getting an artificial and then he can put it up as soon as he gets back from Chicago TARDIS in late November. And yet, somehow . . . ) I like your way better.

Date: 2018-12-22 10:03 am (UTC)I'm a little concerned about what happens if you eat a Yule log. *researches* OH! It's not like log pulling over here ("bluķa vilkšana")! You don't put badness in the log. Proceed, then... :D
