The snow is melting on this Christmas day in Stockholm!! How sad. It doesn't feel like Christmas here in the apartment but when you go outside the city is all lit up. We lounged around in the apartment until noon and then headed out to see if anything was open to get some food. The wind is blowing about 25 to 30 mph and the
rain/snow mix is grueling. We heard drums in the distance and found a small parade of soldiers and horses.
Watched them for awhile and then headed to a pub that we saw was open.
They had the most amazing selections of pizzas I have ever seen. The craziest was banana, chicken,
pineapple and curry (all on 1 pizza). Weird, huh!! We ordered 3 pretty common pizzas: cheese, mushroom, shrimp, etc and took 2 back to the girls who were still sleeping after another late night out. Since there is only 5 hours of sunlight, we call them the "vampire girls" - they sleep until 2 when it is starting to get dark again.
We spent our Christmas afternoon playing games and watching movies with Swedish subtitles but in English - yea!
OK, the bad part is that for our Christmas dinner the girls wanted Max's - which is a Swedish fast food restaurant like McDonalds only they have falafel burgers and really great fish sandwiches. So, Christmas 2009 will always be remembered as the day we ate pizza and fast food in Sweden. I will be so happy when the stores are open again tomorrow!!!!
