Advent Vlog: DIY Christmas Decorations and Baking

Happy advent first everyone! In this video I do a bunch of decorating DIYs, hang our stars and bake lussebullar (a Swedish Christmas classic). I hope this will bring you some cosy Christmas feelings and I wish you a lovely Sunday!

Dried Orange Slices
Slice oranges finely and pat them dry. Lay flat on a lined baking tray (not a grid as I do in the video). Dry in the oven at 50-75 degrees celsius, this will take anywhere between 2-4 hours and depend on the juicy-ness of your oranges. You can start at 50 degrees celsius and check after 30 minutes, if nothing seems to happen turn the heat up to 75 degrees. Also open the door of the oven ones in a while to let some steam out, or wedge a small item in the side of the door to keep it slightly open for steam to seep out continuously. Enjoy!

    I dont really know why (maybe because I saw Pippi Långstrump when I was little)(and in Switzerland the traditions are not so different after all) but I've always been so fascinated by swedish culture and traditions and christmas traditions in particular. Nothing gets me more in a festive mood than watching swedish christmas videos and this one is a real treat! Will definitivelly try the lussekatter next weekend! :3 Thank you! xx

    Such beautiful decorations! I would never think you were “making do” with what you have. It all looks so special and festive. Yes, in the states we tend to go overboard with little Santa/elf/angel/reindeer statues. I’m embarrassed to say we have a dancing Santa doll from the 90’s. It was very popular. 😂

    I just loved this video. It was sweet, simple, cozy, inspirational and uplifting...and 'perfectly imperfect ' (as you said). When I was (much) younger I'd spend hours getting everything just perfect for the holidays - and it usually stressed me out while doing so - taking a lot of the joy with it. Luckily, now I'm at a point in my life where I see the beauty and find joy in the imperfections of life, moreso than the perfection. I feel that things (and people) are much more authentic when they're not trying so hard to be perfect. Thank you for another lovely video. Happy Advent!😊 1 second ago

Instead of buying those rings for wreaths we used old clothing hangers you get from the dry cleaners and bent them into somewhat round circles. Maybe someone also has those laying around and feels crafty :)

    Love hanging out with you! I wish I had done some holiday decorating yesterday but I hurt my back so i wasn't feeling up to digging stuff out of the shed! I always love seeing Swedish traditions because my great-grandparents were from Sweden and Finland (and my aunt is from Finland). I don't recall much from my childhood except the Coffee Bread my great grandma (Mumu) used to make and there was always "hard-tack" (crisp rye crackers) on the table at every meal, and of course, a lot of my family members on the farm had saunas!

    I do enjoy the city I live in and there are many beautiful places in Sweden for sure 😊 Masks are not mandatory in Sweden. Personally I would definitely wear one if I was going on public transport or if I was going to be in a confined space with other people in some way. As I work from home I have limited contact with people, I also don't visit any shops or other public indoor places except for the grocery store once or twice per week. At all times I make sure to keep my distance to people, both indoors and outdoors. Sorry about the long explanation but I have picked up that there is a lot of feelings and even politics surrounding the topic of masks and I just want you to know that I take this pandemic very seriously. I have purchased some masks as the spread has become wider in the area I live and when it arrives I intend to wear it when I visit the supermarket. I do believe masks are important, especially when in spaces where keeping distance is difficult. Wishing you a lovely day Lynn! 🤗
