Christmas cookies 2009

When I was a little girl, my mother would spend many

days in December baking all kinds of cookies for Christmas.

She still wants to serve her guests homemade tradional

cookies, but has decided she musn't necessarily make them herself.

I followed her to a Christmas market in nearby

Larkollen where inside a little white house, she was able to

buy all the cookies she would like.

We also ate a plate of rice porridge, another tradional

dish at this time of the year.

Often people here decorate their doors with similiar

wreaths.

The house itself, originally a private house, is now a

small community center where several organisations

hold their activities.

On this day they also sold knitted, felted and

sewn products to collect money for their activities.
