After I left Skelleftea, I traveled north to Jokkmokk to see my old friend Lena and her family, H.G., Hannes, Mimi, and Hugo.
Lena and HG treated me to their wonderful cooking and I ate like a Queen the entire holiday
On Christmas Eve we gathered at Lena's sisters house where Karin and her husband
Arnold made a feast for us... after which we watched Donald Duck.
Then we went back to Lena's to await the arrival of the Tomte (who looked a bit
like Lena's father) 
Everyone was excited to see the Tomte who gave out lots of wonderful gifts to
everyone... we were all very happy! 
But the Tomte couldn't have been Stig because here he is! The next day
Christmas, there was a big breakfast singing at Mona and Stig's and here are all
the people...
After Christmas we went for a ski trip to Saskam (Click Here), a beautiful old Lappish cabin on Lake Saskam. This was my first time on skis and I fell down several times getting out to the cabin (but none on the way back)...
One day we drove even farther north above the Arctic Circle to the Ice Hotel..(Click Here)
We also went to the Lappish museum...
Then the time had flown and it was time to decorate for New
Years (and paint the glasses)...
bake the Y2K bread...
and have the New Years Feast...
play the New Years games and sing the New Years Songs 
Then it was off to a frozen lake for a rock concert by the
famous Markoolio, but unfortunately no photos exist of this event.
