Makes me feel cold to look at them - well, all bar the last one perhaps. But it's good to see what it's like where you live at this time of year.

Hi Nea,
I've been enjoying your pictures & words. Love the pony at the yuletide market. He just looks so agreeable.
I can see that the people in Sweden really know how to get out there and enjoy the season.

Yes the pony looks very huggable. And get the full length fur coat. I'll bet you can wear them there without the risk of paint being thrown.
Winter Wonderland warmed by the fire and the smile.

Ma + Pa, There were a few teeth chattering at the Christmas market, the stall holders who stood from 10 in the morning till 6 in the evening found it a bit chilly. I think the temperature was about -10 C or 14 F.
But we didn't get cold; Strawberry discovered that when she removed her gloves her hands steamed.

Hi Tina, the pony was lovely. There was a toddler there feeding him hay and he was very gentle with her. Do you have a blog? I've seen some of Lori's photos with your name added.

Pat, fur or feather, we couldn't manage very well without them.Most people wear feather down jackets though and the furs that are worn are quite old. When Father Christmas visits the children here it's not unusual to see him wearing an old wolfskin coat and I think that's what the lady in the picture is wearing, but wolves are now protected.
