25 Dec – Christmas Day starts at our house with my homemade Swedish tea ring, scrambled eggs, home fries, bacon, and lots of coffee.

Dinner at my parents' house. 
Only one nephew and one brother-in-law were not with us.
A joint effort makes up this Swedish smorgasborg.



My father's Glug. 

Pickled herring and thin Swedish crackers-they must have a name, but I don't know it. (need to make my grandmother's homemade hard tack next year).
My mother's homemade Rye bread, Havarti, crudités (or as my mother calls them, vitamins).

Swedish meatballs (made by my Chilean brother-in-law from Ingebretsen's mix), Swedish brown beans, potatoes in cream sauce, red cabbage, hot fruit salad, Swedish potato sausage, Lutefisk, Swedish ham.

So many of us, we had to set up tables in the livingroom.
























Christmas cookies, rice pudding, lingonberries, coffee.
