I am not sure if we are bad at planning - but hosting Christmas.... Sucks! Okay. That is not quite true, as everyone seemed to have a good time and stayed well past the usual 7 or 8pm cut off and the last guests left near 1am, but it was a lot of work. Two days in a row I have gone over 11,000 steps and literally, I haven't left the house! We did things a bit different yesterday though, as normally it is arranged so people sit and eat all courses at once, but due to practical reasons (we didn't have enough plates) we had breaks between courses. When people arrived, we served "Glögi" which is essentially Gluhwein (spiced mulled wine) with a bit of a Finnish twist in ingredients, I think. We served two versions, an alcoholic and non-alcoholic one for the kids and drivers. All the food was expectedly traditional, starting with fish dishes like cold smoked salmon and the like. I don't have any pictures of the fish dishes, but it was the only course I got to eat. Then came the ham. My wife
