Just for Fun – From The Tomten

Just for fun, here’s an excerpt from The Tomten and an image in the gallery. It truly is a wonderful book and a fun part of my Swedish heritage and holidays. Growing up, we read it every Christmas.

Winter is long and dark and cold, and sometimes the Tomten dreams of summer.
   Winters come and winters go,
   Summers come and summers go,
   Soon the swallows will be here, thinks the Tomten.
Winters come and summers go;
year follows year. 
But as long as people live at the old farm in the forest, every night the Tomten will trip around between the houses on his small, silent feet.
(Adapted by Astrid Lindgren from a poem by Viktor Rydberg)
