We started the season by attending Julfest.

We have gone for many years – get to sing along with some old Christmas favorites.   This celebration includes the Lucia Bride and with the lights low and real candles held y the girls and on their heads, it is spectacular. 

There is a program to follow along and for each song that the congregation sings, the words are written in Swedish and the final verse in English.   When you know all the verses in English, it is ok if you use that version. At least I did.

The pastors message was short but worth thinking about…..Let Jesus Show.
Think about it.

Singing Silent Night, in any language brings chills. 

Then we proceed  down stairs to little sandwiches, butter cookies, ginger snaps, coffee and tea.

We see old friends, most of them Swedish, but we love them.

It is a great way to start the Holiday season.         Keep singing about our Saviour .
