finnish tradition dictactes that i celebrate christmas on christmas eve, so once it's noon december 24, this is the time of yore to prepare the meal, wash the year off in the sauna, go to church and expect joulupukki to knock on the front door to hand out presents.

so, with that,

merry christmas ja hauskaa joulua!

so the eggnog carton will be empty until then.
(or until i come up with something to blog about.)
