Christmas Market (Julmarknad) and Lucia as Advent Traditions in Sweden

During Winter, especially the Christmas season, a Christmas Market in Gamla Stan (Old Town Stockholm) has Scandinavian artisans sell their products for the season. Also, during the 13th of December, Lucia is celebrated in Sweden and all over Scandinavia. During this day, I tried to achieve both: visiting the season’s Christmas Bazaar and attempting several times to catch a Lucia concert or a Lucia procession. I achieved almost both. It was quite a setback since all available churches in Old Town Stockholm which had scheduled Lucia concerts were sold out by the time we arrived, but we were still able to attend one before going home. It was at St. Eugenia's Church near The King's Garden (Kungsträdgården).

Brilliance of The Seas in Stockholm -- A Royal Carribean Tour of One of The Finest Cruise Ships in the World

Early Monday morning of my 36th birthday, I was given the chance to tour Brilliance of The Seas - one of the finest cruise ships in the world. It is owned and operated by Royal Caribbean, holding about 800 staff and crew members with about 3,000 passengers on board.

Focksta Kvarn (Focksta Millhouse) of Säva in Sweden

Last weekend, we were able to attend a rare event that was part of Uppsala's Culture Night (Kulturnatten Uppsala). Once a year, several cities hold a "culture night" where there are certain events in particular areas of a city celebrating this night, mostly to show the history and what is current in that specific place. There would be shows in theatres, even food festivals at times. Most members of the community take a break from their busy schedules to partake in these events. It's both educational and entertaining for adults and children alike.
