My favorite is Christmas Eve candlelight service when you raise up your candles to Silent Night and all the light are out. They don’t use real candles anymore. It’s not the same with l.e.d light. 🔥
So many similarities between my childhood Christmas memories from Finland. Real trees, amazing chocolates (pallets of chocolates in every store! We ate them all!), family gatherings with enormous amounts of food and desserts and the nice porcelain was out! And hymns. Real hymns sung by villagers and drew tears from all in the church. Candle light and Lucia. Thank you for taking us on your memory journey! And Merry Christmas!

That sounds beautiful. I’m our church there were far too many wily wee ones to risk the open flame 🤣🤣🤣

Oooooo I forgot about the special chocolates!!!!! Perhaps I may need to add to the list. 🤭
My daughter and I drag this one out every mid December, it's become our holiday song. https://youtu.be/vh3cAzkKsCI?si=YIxeOq00H64DoSTk
Caaaaaackles. That’s a whole vibe. 🤣
