In my family we would always wait
until the 23rd of December to
decorate the tree. My grandmother
always reffered to that day as “the
day before the day.”
Ever since I was a kid that day has
been special to me. Dad would get the
tree from the garage and get all the
boxes with ornaments from the attic.
The radio would be on with Christmas
carols, there would be plenty of
cookies, and marzipan, and Mormor’s
lamb pies. The filling to the pies had
been cooking all day and driving us
crazy with its amazing smells. We
would ask all day when they where
ready and the answer was always the
same: “When the tree is decorated and lit.”
I forgot to mention one thing, we were all in our pyjamas
and robes. I don’t know how that tradition started, but that
was the rule.
