The biggest amusement park (n\u00f6jespark<\/strong>)\u00a0in the Nordic countries called Liseberg in Gothenburg. Liseberg has been a “must” (ett m\u00e5ste<\/strong>) for a lot of people during Christmas time. This park is not only for amusement, but they have a treffic theater ( en<\/strong> teater<\/strong>), a hotel and even an ice ring (en isbana<\/strong>)\u00a0and also a several scenes where you can watch concerts all through the\u00a0summer. But what really makes people go to Liseberg is the fantastic Christmas market (den<\/strong> fantastiska<\/strong> julmarknaden<\/strong>)\u00a0and the mood they create around Christmas. For many, many years I used to feel that Christmas lost its magic for me as an adult and it was all about crazy shopping, stress and by the time we gathered around the Christmas tree I felt so exhausted that I\u00a0 did not only refuse to dance around it, but\u00a0I wished there had never been my birthday ( min f\u00f6delsedag<\/strong>)\u00a0and New Year\u00b4s Eve\u00a0(ny\u00e5rsafton<\/strong>)\u00a0coming. I soon realized, that many friends of mine felt the same\u00a0way about the holiday so we decided that we can\u00b4t be bitter about this. We have to do something. Let\u00b4s go to Liseberg and see the Christmas market. Let\u00b4s make Christmas into a nice experience instead of a survival game. I have to confess that I was really sceptic because I dislike all the hysteria around the celebration in the “commercial world”, but I was very determined to have a change. So I entered the magical (magisk<\/strong>)\u00a0world of Liseberg.<\/p>\n

What I shortly understood walking along the market sheds (bodar<\/strong>) that I didn\u00b4t only find classical Swedish food, but so much new stuff that puts Christmas into another perspective. Because as much as I love herring (sill<\/strong>) or salmon (lax<\/strong>), we have it on the table all\u00a0year long. I really liked the fact that besides traditional food you could also find these things with a different touch if we say so. People come here from all across Sweden with their own mustard (senap<\/strong>), cheese, whisky sausage or different kinds of berry and plant siraps. Sounds weird?\u00a0Noo, it is already watering in your mouth. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0The last mentioned from Alterhedens\u00a0became a real favorite of mine. They are a family company 11 miles from the Swedish\u00a0polar circle.\u00a0So if you have\u00a0your way\u00a0around Gothenburg during the Christmas holidays go by\u00a0one of the\u00a0sheds from Norrland. www.alterhedens.se<\/a><\/p>\n

To sum up my yearly visits at Liseberg I have gained a more relaxed and peaceful way of awaiting Christmas through spending some quality time with friends (v\u00e4nner<\/strong>)\u00a0and family on an occasion where we can hang out, have fun, eat food that you don\u00b4t usually find in the supermarkets and can feel like a child again playing for example pentathlon (femkamp<\/strong>). What I haven\u00b4t gained from the experience is more savings in the end of the day and let me tell you that you will be exhausted and cold. But it worth\u00b4s it since we have each year exciting food on the table\u00a0next to\u00a0the traditional dishes and that makes me quite\u00a0pleased because I don\u00b4t necessarily know the whole screenplay for Christmas. And they have plenty of hot mulled wine\u00a0(gl\u00f6gg<\/strong>) in case of freezing. What I also like\u00a0at Liseberg -besides the fact that all the markets in Sweden look kind of artificial with thousands of light bulbs (gl\u00f6dlampor<\/strong>)\u00a0and\u00a0plastic snow\u00a0including Liseberg- that they somehow have created a great atmosphere\u00a0with their choice of sheds, quality products and representation for whole Sweden. So a big up for Liseberg!\u00a0\u00a0 http:\/\/www.liseberg.se\/sv\/hem\/<\/a>\u00a0Find your infomation in English on their website.<\/p>\n

The weather is getting cold around Christmas in Sweden so dress warm because you\u00b4ll be spending hours and a few hundreds of Swedish\u00a0Kronor at the market. It has recently become very popular in Sweden to give away different kind of experiences such as hot chocholate or stone massage, wine tasting, paint ball fight, helicopter ride\u00a0or weekend trips. We have even learnt that there should be\u00a0“present of the year” (\u00e5rets julklapp<\/strong>) each year. In 2009 the present of the year is a bed of nails (en spikmatta<\/strong>)\u00a0informed us\u00a0Handelns Utredningsinstitut, while 72% of the Swedes would cry under the Christmas tree getting one. Well, thank you for the information! But if you guys would\u00a0fall for the media pressure so: “As you make your bed so you must lie on it”. (Som man b\u00e4ddar for man ligga<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

What do you think about the present of the year? Hissa eller dissa? Hot or not? Praise or raize?\u00a0I say: dissa!<\/p>\n

\u00c5rets julklapp genom \u00e5ren:
\n* 2008 – En upplevelse (an experience)
\n* 2007 – GPS-mottagare (GPS-receiver)
\n* 2006 – Ljudbok (audiobook)
\n* 2005 – Pokerset (Poker set)
\n* 2004 – Platt-TV (flat-screen tv)
\n* 2003 – M\u00f6ssa (cap)
\n* 2002 – Kokbok\u00a0(cook book)\u00a0Because of the wider popularity of TV-chefs
\n* 2001 – Verktyg (tools)
\n* 2000 – DVD-spelare (DVD-player)<\/p>\n
