Good with Winter. Part 2

The Christmas Cartoons.

Cartoons and Christmas are two things that go well together. And we all have our favorites.

A Christmas without cartoons is not a real Christmas. Where I come from there are two cartoons that almost everyone watches, that's Donald Ducks Christmas and The Story of Karl-Bertil Jonssons Christmas eve (Eng:Christopher's Christmas Mission). Even if Donald tries very hard and there is always a couple of funny moments in there, the favorite is Karl-Bertil.

The story of Karl-Bertils Christmas eve is that of a Robin Hood story. When Karl-Bertil realizes that there are people suffering in this world he tries to spread some happiness by taking from the rich and giving to the poor.

The Cartoon was make in 1975 and has been played on Swedish TV every Christmas Eve since. It makes it not only a tradition but also a interesting trip into how it was and looked in 1975. Some of the things they say are simply amazing in a strange way.

I can hardly wait to sit down in the couch with friends, family and loved ones and just enjoy this very good thing with winter.

Good with Winter. Part 1

Preparing for Christmas.

There is no hiding from it, Winter has begun. But like fall there are a number of good things with this cold season.

Preparing for Christmas does not only mean getting the food and the gifts. To be able to really enjoy Christmas one has to be in the mood. And how is that done. Of course it's different from person to person but there are a couple of things that will help. First, one has to realize that Christmas will never be like when we were kids. It's not gonna be like that one Christmas when everything seemed to be perfect. Trying to get that back won't work.

Instead one should try to figure out what they really like about Christmas. There really aren't any do's and don'ts. It's your Christmas, you can do what ever you want with it. If that means eating only one thing or just watching movies then that's great. That's your Christmas.

And then just like always, group activities. Have a Christmas party, go with friend shopping for gifts and of course one thing should be present, the Christmas music.

Well what can I say...
