A skill needed in this country

Maybe these exist in the US somewhere but I have not seen them.  they are tables with the necessary supplies to wrap flowers or plants to survive the temperature.  There are even instructions as to how to wrap them properly.  fortunately I was with someone skilled in the art of wrapping flowers.

Christmas in the city

There is nothing like the Christmas decorations in Stockholm.  I know I have written before about Christmas here but it's worth repeating.  For the most part, Christmas decorations are not so "over the top".  The lights, greenery, amaryllis, even the milk cartons - only thing missing is the snow at this point.  Hopefully that will show up very soon.

The windows at NK are always decorated for Christmas - usually there is a ton of children clamoring for a peek at them but I happen to time it right.
