Suddenly it’s winter…

Last night it got pretty cold, down to -6 overnight. This morning it was frosty and bright sun so we went downtown and had a walk around.

In NK, the big departement store, Santa was sitting under a giant Christmas tree and was busy making sure all the children had been good this year.

In the old town, Maria met one of his little helpers who was inexplicably driving around on a Segway giving out caramelised almonds. Don’t think that Rudolph would approve.

The moon was coming up over the Grand Hotel as we headed towards the Christmas market in Stortorget  in Gamla Stan.

Walking back through Kungsträdgården, the main square had turned back to it’s winter use of an ice rink. Maria is threatening to take me ice skating soon, but I remember last time when I went skating and was terrorised by the small children skating around at 100mph while I inched along, struggling to keep upright.
