CLASSIC SWEDISH CHRISTMAS DIY'S | MY SWEDISH CHRISTMAS CALENDAR #1

Welcome to the first episode in my Swedish Christmas Calendar. In this episode I'll be guiding you through the classic Swedish "JULPYSSEL" or "DIY's". What did we make "back in the days" that are still as relevant today and what are of the old style Christmas DIY's are my favorites?

Hope you're all having a wonderful Christmas and that you like my little Advent Calendar! Until I see you next time (tomorrow that is...)

God Jul! (= Merry Christmas)

After watching this video, we changed our mind about buying a toy advent calendar for my 4 year old and baby. I decided everyday that we will bake something or make a decorations handmade everyday. First day we made the orange 🍊 💕 another day we cooked your delicious triple nut cake, yesterday we tried the porridge. Thank you so much it so much better than just buying toys !!!! ✨

I do love all seasons but l am a winter person because of the tranquillity and because of cross-country skiing and how relax you get after a day in nature in the cold, nothing better, yup nature is beautiful in all colors but she's especially gorgeous in a white dress! 🌲❄⛄🌲❄🌲😌👌

I remember doing the orange and clove one with my grandma when I was little, and to this day, that wonderful smell reminds me of her.

Your paper snowflake is lovely. That paper crafting technique has 2 names: "paper filigree" and "quilling."

When my daughter was little, I made her a Saint Lucia outfit for Christmas-hair so blonde it was white, eyes so blue the whites were blue, long white dress, white baby’s breath halo & red ribbon! Her “Anderson” relatives loved it!! And now she’s dating a young man whose family is from Sweden, I need to find the pictures!!! He has seen her at her best, white hair and hair is reddish now, but her eyes are still blue. And I make those quilled snowflakes!!!! I love quilling!!! I never realize it was Swedish!!!! Thanks for Can’t wait to do these with my grandson!!!

I lived in southern Sweden for 5 years and found the way Swedes decorate and celebrate Jul so meaningful. We have adopted many of the Jul customs in our home in the United States. Thank you for your beautiful videos. Jag känner mig ”sverigesugen”. I know that’s not a real word, but it kind of sums up how much I miss Sverige och hur mycket jag älskar Sverige.

Like it when so one so young says “back in the day”. Makes an old man smile.

I just put cloves into my orange last night. I love learning about different Christmas traditions around the world, especially in Nordic countries. Merry Christmas!

Your ideas are nice, thank you. I miss painted wooden horses as in Dalarna. I painted a few horses in rainy and foggy November while visiting a friend of mine in southern Sweden. I gifted them to my kids and special friends to Christmas.

I love the way you decorate your home for Christmas!! So natural, not commercial!

I may be only 1/4 Swedish, but this still made me tearful. My mother did a few of these decorations for Christmas. Thank you. ❤️

Watching this for Xmas in July- hope all is well!!

I’ve decided to watch your videos this year as a replacement for an actual advent calendar for myself. I don’t want to have sweets every day and have enough things already so I thought these videos would be a lovely alternative 😊

I made the Orange and clove as a child in elementary school growing up in Alabama.

My mother gave me a continuous love of Christmas. This vlogs are just wonderful.

Happy 1st of December 2019 everyone 😊
Just came across your channel recently and I‘m in love. So I‘m watching the calendar this year.

I loved the white design you made on the ginger bread cookies. And the paper decoration of the snow flakes design that you put on your Christmas tree is called "quilling" the art of quilling.

[liverpoolishgirl]

Just lovely – thank you for sharing your favorites with us. Everything looked beautiful.

[sharonmc]

I love your videos. The fragrance of oranges and cloves is called 'pomander', very fragrant and wonderful.
