I remember that about buying alchohol- it seemed like those shops weren't open very often either. I loved the supermarkets in the countryside (I don't think I went in any Stockholm) so many good sweets and things. <br /><br />You sound like a good teacher though!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-89045339936508573632009-12-15T12:55:53.392+00:002009-12-15T12:55:53.392+00:00I guess that's like gemuetlich in German or my...I guess that's like gemuetlich in German or mysig in Swedish. Or lekker in Dutch (which also means yummy, isn't that a great word?). Enough language-showing off now. <br />We had Gloegg for Lucia (as Emily told you...). The proper Swedish stuff. And just as what you buy from IKEA, it traditionally comes without alcohol. That's mainly because in Sweden only 'systembolaget' is allowed to sell alcohol. So people have to turn it into something more heart warming at home. We did our with cognac. Now that's what I call lekker!<br /><br />PS: And since when do I sound like a teacher?Metropolitan Mumhttp://www.metropolitanmum.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-73099348382347642902009-12-15T12:37:57.642+00:002009-12-15T12:37:57.642+00:00Hi Top Bird- we've had a couple of hyggelig...Hi Top Bird- we've had a couple of hyggelig's already- you need them in this grey! Yep I love untranslatable words- and using them makes me feel a bit Stephen Fry<br /><br />Hi Vicki- that is the problem. I keep having to check<br /><br />Hi Emily- Gloegg is so good isn't it- the alchoholic and non (well the stuff I have had is from Ikea so is non but we bung it in with some real wine and make it merrier!).Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-19613580866909562652009-12-15T09:51:10.421+00:002009-12-15T09:51:10.421+00:00Great word!

I know some Swedish but to a minimal extent...I had some Gloegg over Lucia, which is an equally weird word to describe swedish mulled wine:) xxx LZEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17918359175437275031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-41727708264570739582009-12-14T22:30:23.528+00:002009-12-14T22:30:23.528+00:00Fantastic expression....now if only I can remember...Fantastic expression....now if only I can remember how to spell it Rose...xvvicki archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847183975086900816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-91082004912638592642009-12-14T17:48:48.403+00:002009-12-14T17:48:48.403+00:00I love hyggelig too - even more so that it's u...I love hyggelig too - even more so that it's untranslatable.
