My girl pal Amy was over a few weekends ago.  We had some seasonally delicious, cranberry and propolis honey-infused vodka with dry rhubarb soda.  It's my new favorite thing. 

We also listened to terrible Christmas music and talked about all stuff holidays including cookies, trees and SWEDISH inspired things.  I am hosting a holiday party coming up this weekend so I've got the fever.  She asked me if I had seen Fanny and Alexander by Ingmar Bergman which I had not.  I looked it up and discovered that my young-self was actually in Fanny and Alexander (see girl with bangs below.) Seriously.  Have you seen this film?  Did you love it?  I still need to watch it.  I hear it's on American netflix.
