I'm signing off for a few days because...
...tomorrow is Christmas Eve and that's when the main Christmas celebrations take place in Sweden. This might seem strange to you but not to us - we get our presents before you. Ha!:) I'll probably be posting something on Monday, so check back then!
Before I go, just a reminder of our Christmas gift to you: The Christmas music collection
we've called Santalicious (No, I'm not telling you what's on it! I can tell you that most of the contents has been taken, during the last few weeks, from some excellent blogs kind enough to share with us their Christmas song treasure. Thanks again all of you!
(71 MB via Yousendit)
I've also added last year's Christmas collection - Santafobic 
(Yes, for some reason not Santaphobic!) which is a good collection of some of the better recordings of the most common Christmas songs (I guess from an American perspective anyway). I think you'll like it.

UPDATE
Regarding the "tortas"-poster (above to the right) Steve Worth director of ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive Project commented:
"That poster you like is by Ernesto Garcia Cabral, an amazing illustrator from Mexico. I plan to feature his work this Spring in a posting to the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive Project Blog. In the meantime, check out this poster by Cabral from the same site...

Thanks for the info Steve and keep up the great work!

Christmas Day Fun
After all gifts are opened, all the herringsalad is eaten it is fun to do something with your family and friends. This is an example of extrem fun presented in 1987.
For our international readers I am sorry to say that the instructions is only in Swedish but I hope you are able to follow by seeing.
Go out in the streets, play and make all you meet happy.
Blog: The World Of Kane.
Wow! I just have to recommend The World Of Kane. - a blog which I hadn't seen before. But thanks to Happy Palace I have now discovered it. Have a look yourself!
Wanted: The music score of "K-B Jonssons julafton"
This is I guess a call for help aimed at our Swedish readers (But help is welcome wherever it originates so I'll write in English).
"Sagan om Karl-Bertil Jonssons julafton"(The story of Karl-Bertil Jonsson's Christmas Eve) is;
A) a great little Christmas short story written by Tage Danielsson (It can be read here, in Swedish though), B) a marvelous animated short by director/animator/illustrator Per Åhlin with the author doing the speaker voice, C) one of a few Swedish Christmas-TV-traditions (the best and most impotant in my book).
The story is nice. I guess the theme is "it is more blessed to give than receive". The animation is fantastic and so is the cool jazz score by Gunnar Svensson.
Now, the problem is I haven't been able to get my hands on the original music score. I have another version (listen here) which is really good but not THE one. So, if someone has it and is willing to share it, please mail it to me or use Yousendit or something. I would be very grateful!
And as they say: "It's better to give than receive"!
UPDATE
No complete luck yet but here's a snippet of the original sent to me by dear ol' Johnny at Stationsvakt. Thanks a lot Johnny! Ska du ha ett fikon?!
mOBSCENE reminds us that the illustrated book can be found here. Ta ett fikon du med!

Christmas: Probably the best Yule music ever
I realize "The best..." are strong words, but listen to The Soulful Strings - The Magic of Christmas, and tell me if I'm wrong? Do you have a better candidate?
UPDATE: Sorry, no longer available...
(Thanks to Basic Hip Digital Oddio for posting the music stream! It's possible to get it in better quality here; but not for free.)

Game: Samorost 2
Finally the people at Czech company Amanita Design has made a sequel to the popular Samorost game. In the sequel you will find the same quality in the beautiful and highly imaginative scenery as well as in the great music and sounds. By pointing, clicking and solving some (not so hard) puzzles you can help the little guy in the white jump-suit to get his kidnapped dog back.
Actually there are two chapters, but the second one you'll have to pay to play. That's up to you. Anyway, if you liked the first Samorost - go ahead and play Samorost 2. If you're not familiar to the game - try the first Samorost, or take a look at the other nice stuff from Amanita design.

Illustration: Kay Nielsen
"Kay Nielsen was born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1886. His first success as an illustrator came with the book we digitized for inclusion in our media database today... 'The Twelve Dancing Princesses'. Nielsen differed from his contemporaries, who were steeped in the European tradition, by following the lead of artists from the art nouveau movement like Aubrey Beardsley, as well as Persian and Asian art."

Music: Deutsche Junge Freundschaft mit Hahn
To listen click here!
Tack till mr dante Fontanas förlag som låtit världen uppleva Tyskland 1977.
Für Gockel Konstantin hat fliegen keinen Sinn.
Er muß am Boden bleiben und uns die Zeit vertreiben.
Auh weia, auh weia, der Hahn legt keine Eier.
Auh weia, auh weia, der Hahn legt keine Eier.
Für Gockel Konstantin hat schlafen keinen Sinn.
Wer soll uns sonst im Leben von Uhlenbusch erzählen?
Auh weia, auh weia, der Hahn legt keine Eier.
Auh weia, auh weia, der Hahn legt keine Eier.
Für Gockel Konstantin hat weinen keinen Sinn.
Wir sind in deiner Nähe und machen dein Gekrähe.
Auh weia, auh weia, kiki-riki-kiki.
Auh weia, auh weia, kiki-riki-kiki.
Kikiriki!
