Dear friends !

With this short mail, we would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !

We will be staying in Strasbourg over Christmas and Helenas parents will be  joining us. For New Year we will spread: Bertil will be going to Stockholm to celebrate with his parents; Niklas and Oscar will be going to Brussels to see their father, and Mimmi & Helena will stay at home and take care of ''the zoo''. It has increased during the year: We got Caramel just before sending out last year's X-mas card, she was just a tiny puppy, Mimmi bought a pony in February and we found a sad little abandoned ginea-pig in the bushes who is also part of the family now. Taking care of a poney  is not always easy to combine with an increasing amount of homework for Mimmi!

We have now started our fifth year in Strasbourg. Niklas just started the "gymnasium", le lycée, Mimmi is in the 9th grade and Oscar in the 8th grade. Niklas has started to take driving lessons and will shortly make the theoretical exam.  After the theoretical part, he can start to drive with Helena or Bertil as teacher. Oscar is studying chinese! Difficult but he enjoys it!

Also this year we spent five weeks in Sweden for the summer vacations. However it is becoming really expensive to own: the negative surprise this year, was its increased taxation value with about 150%....

The whole family is happy, in good health - happy to live in Alsace - happy at work and at school.

Happy Holiday !

Helena, Bertil, Niklas, Mimmi, Oscar, & the animals
