Betty MacDonald and Carl Larsson

Frida:

Mathida, we enjoyed St. Lucia's day very much.

It'll be a very special Betty MacDonald Christmas gift reading Mary Bard Jensen's delightful letters with  some interesting family pics especially of very beloved Gammy.

Betty MacDonald, Mary Bard Jensen and whole Bard family celebrated Christmas in an unique way.

I don't know whether they ever heard of swedish artist and author Carl Larsson.

I think it's a great combination to look at Carl Larsson's artwork and reading Betty MacDonald's Christmas stories at the same time or listening to Wolfgang Hampel's unique  Betty MacDonald interviews.

My favourites are Carl Larsson's artwork 'Britta with candles and apples', Betty MacDonald's book Nancy and Plum and Wolfgang Hampel's very funny interview with Betty MacDonald's sister Alison Bard Burnett.

We wonder how Betty MacDonald darling  Mr. Tigerli celebrates Christmas.
We hope he'll be able to find a new personal assistent very soon.
Good luck, Mr. Tigerli!

Wishing you a peaceful and white Christmas although we are very depressed because of these tragic news from U.S.A.

Love,

Frida
