From The Land Of The Ice And Snow

Here's another special New Year's share for those of you who've made it this far into the season. From the frigid lands up near the North Pole, this is Glaedelig Jul-Og Godt Nytar (Polydor (Denmark) SLUPM 7024, Stereo, 1968). Not entirely sure if this is a collection of singles or tracks that were collected up, or a project created as a whole. Probably doesn't matter, but sometimes you just like to know the back story. I love collections of music like this from other countries, it really lets you get a sense of what Christmas must be like there. And plenty of content here that feels like Christmas, so it's an easy listen, even though I don't speak the language.

  2. Very interesting heart on the album cover. IKEA has sold these in the past. I once used them for Christmas, but now they are part of my Valentine's decorations. Valentine's starts soon.

    1. I'm guessing it has some meaning, but I don't know what it is.

  3. IKEA’s heart-shaped paper ornaments from its VINTERFINT holiday collection are inspired by the classic Scandinavian woven hearts, which have been made and displayed during the Christmas season since at least the mid-19th century. In fact, it’s said that fairy-tale author Hans Christian Andersen may have created the first-ever woven heart!

    The cool thing about these ornaments is that they can be opened and used as baskets to store small pieces of candy, wishes, or little gifts while being displayed on the tree.
