Thanks for posting these images.
Have you ever vieved a real painting by Carl Larsson?
If not so and if you visit Gothenburg or Stockholm, make sure to do so.
By the way, a typical Nordic Christmas according to Ingemar Bergman:

So when is ‘kloob’ eaten?
I found a page with Carl Larsson paintings (prints) at http://scandinaviantreasures.com. I was looking for one print in particular but did not find it there. It might have been by another Scandinavian artist. It was of a bunch of children (with two adult women) at a table outside, having a summer picnic. The (large) family dog had joined the group and had his paws up on the table.
By the way: I am presently enjoying some lingonberry preserves (Halfi brand) from the shop I mentioned earlier.
