Yesterday, it was time for the yearly Swedish Christmas Market. Swedish handicraft, Swedish food and other goodies mixed with Swedish clothes and Swedish art in subtropical Brisbane.

It was an awesome day with beautiful Queensland weather. It was sunny and around 35°C (95°F) Somehow, we still managed to get a bit of Christmas feel in subtropical Brisbane. Maybe the Swedish Christmas music helped a bit? ...and the Lucia procession too, of course!
*** Det var en mycket varm dag i härligt varma Queensland. Vi hade soligt och omkring 35°C. På något sätt fixade vi ändå julkänsla i subtropiska Brisbane - kanske den svenska julmusiken hjälpte en smula? ...och Luciatåget också, så klart!
