...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!

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...

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.
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!
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!
Are you bored? Why not make a Cinzano Car? It might make a great Christmas present. Find more at Agence Eureka!
