Lillejulaften, Little Christmas Eve. The day before The Day, and time for all the last minute preparations. The Christmas tree is up now and the lights are lit. We are ready for the 20 Days of Christmas. The purple colour of advent is about to be changed with the happy, festive red. Our house has filled with house guests, among them little Leander, our Christmas Gift this year. Only two weeks yet, he sleeps a lot, and I find myself sitting down, looking down at his face where I can recognize features from our own children, his long, thin fingers which look completely new to me, I bend down to smell his head, to kiss the soft hints of hair. The days are slowing down, time stops, as we live these blessed days of a new miracle.
Then Leander´s dad and farmor go for a walk with the pram, and I remember I have a list of things to do. I make the karamellpudding (creme brulee) and put it in the owen to bake. Then I sit down in the quiet house and fill it with prayers and thanks.
The rest of the list can wait.
