Christmas Is Over

It is the twentieth day of Christmas, and in Sweden, this means Christmas is over. We have cleaned the house and taken away the Christmas decorations. They will come back by the end of the year, when it is time for Christmas again.

The younger dogs says they cannot wait until next Christmas. I might be more mature, I just think there are so many things to look forward to before next Christmas. There is the period before Easter, when we eat the Swedish specialty semla. There is Easter, with all Easter candy. There is spring, when we start having grilled food. There is summer, the best season of the year, because it is the peak of dog show season. At midsummer, we also celebrate. Throughout the year, we have birthdays too. My own birthday is in September, one of the the greatest days in autumn.

In short, there are many events to be happy about before next Christmas. Next Christmas will surely be great, too, but we do not need to long for it just yet.
