Swedish christmas drink

The whole day was raining. I woke up hour 10.00 that I even not recognized it. It was dark outside and haven't any spirit to go out as we planned yesterday evening. I told my husband to stay home and watch our favorite TV program instead.



While eating breakfast we discussed food for dinner this evening. We both agree to have "potatoes Au gratin" with fish in it,but we are out of cream!. We went out for grocery in spite of the pouring rain.



I was inside the department store I feel the spirit of Christmas. Christmas decoration is everywhere,and even they started to display "Swedish Christmas drinks".



































"Glögg" as picture attached is one example of the Swedish drink that every family have during Christmas Eve. It has different flavour that you may choose from no alcohol content and have alcohol. Warm it first before you drink! Big things happened 2 years back. I came from different culture and never have taste "glögg"in my life (before I married to my husband). I have no idea that it should be warmed ,I opened the bottle and tried to smell and taste. My husband did stopped me. Ugh!shamed on me... We both laughed until now it's still funny when I think about it.



















Julmust have different taste from "coca-cola". Swedish Christmas celebration is not complete without julmust. It actually taste good more sweeter than coca-cola. Both "glögg" and "julmust" are the important drinks for every family here during Christmas season. I'm glad that now I am part of their tradition.
