The day before the big day, at least in Sweden. We celebrate Christmas on the December 24. The evening before used to be the big day of decorations and preparations for the 24th. I think people start earlier these days. Maybe because December is a dark month, and we need light to cheer us up. If you look around you, you se lights from balconies, windows and gardens. It is beautiful.
Maybe, later in the evening you can sit down with a good book, or just read before falling asleep. A favourite book? A new book? I have used an audio book lately to fall a sleep. A detective story from the 19th century, where a few women come together to solve crimes. It is also the story of how women were treated in those days. Days when women did not have any rights, and were always dependent on a man; be it a father, brother or husband.
The book is Död mans kvinna (Dead Man's Woman) by Katarina Wennstam. It is the second book in a series, and it was nice to meet the characters from the first book again. I am usually not very fond of audio books, and they don't always work for me. These stories do.
