In Scandinavia the whole period of Christmas, from the first Sunday in Advent to New Year's Day, is marked by festivals and celebrated in traditional but beautifully contemporary style. Hygge, the Danish word for cosiness, is about being inside with candles, great comfort food and lots of cakes and sweets. The first week of December is baking week - enough has to be made to last the whole Christmas period. Jars of decorated cookies, gingerbread houses and clogs filled with little presents rub shoulders with simple wreaths, trees and tables decorated with white candles and fresh greenery - the perfect mix of ancient and modern. Brunches, cocktail and tea parties, lunches and dinners are celebrated with a mixture of traditional goodies and delicious modern recipes. Duck and pork rule on Christmas Eve, fish, ham and seasonal vegetables on Christmas Day. Sweets, biscuits, puddings and other treats abound - all washed down with gluwein and fruity cocktails. In this glorious book, illustrated with Lars Ranek's evocative photographs, Trine Hahnemann provides a cornucopia of 70 Christmas recipes - all featuring ingredients which are common to all northern climes - showing us how we, too, can decorate our homes and make delicious dishes to celebrate Christmas the Scandinavian way.

Here readers will learn how to bring those warm traditions into their own homes, wherever they live. Included are instructions to make mulled wine, homemade peanut brittle, red candied apples, crisp pepparkakor, lightly browned Swedish meatballs, candles, wreaths, and more. Each recipe and project are accompanied by beautiful full-color photographs. From fashioning centerpieces to baking delicious cookies to hand-making Christmas tree ornaments, this book will inspire readers to rediscover the joys of a Scandinavian Christmas.

The Anni Arts Scandinavian Christmas printable crafts are now available in a Cut-n-Make Book. Easy, pre-printed paper crafts in full colour are ready to cut, glue and make. No need to print! Folksy Scandinavian Holiday clip art for handmade cards, paper crafts, delightful little gifts and decor for 'Jul' celebrations have the traditional look of Scandi folk art. The original watercolour illustrations for these crafts were done in the style of painted Scandinavian folk toy horses. The look was extended to items and craft elements not usually associated with this style: an elk, reindeer, julbock, Christmas tree and braids. The crafts have instructions on the printed pages themselves, and there is a section with general instructions and tips too. However, the crafts are so easy that non-English crafters will also be able to make them without the need for the instructions. Only the most basic craft equipment is needed: scissors, glue, a paper scorer and hole punch are sufficient. The crafts are beautifully designed to form a coordinated series and small elements can be applied in a mix and match manner. The Scandinavian Christmas designs are also available as digi downloads, are on craft CDs or USBs, as well as on fun holiday products. God Jul!
