In Sweden we celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve. There were only two of us so it was difficult to have a full traditional Christmas table, but we had meatballs, sausages, ham and some salmon plus Swedish hard cheese (Vasterbottenost) and hard bread (knackebrod). It was a very nice evening.
The day after we decided to head out and look at London. London on Christmas Day is special. There is no public transport at all, meaning that the city is as empty as you will ever find it in the day time. There is still some traffic and there is still some tourists, but it is a very special feeling. Here Oxford Circus in late afternoon.
Oxford Street close to John Lewis
Regent Street.
Carnaby Street.
Tomorrow Boxing Day sales start. It will most likely be far busier.
