Take your shoes off, please!

Like oriental costumes, Swedes take their shoes off when arrive home.

That is funny! When we have some Brazilian guests and those who don't know about this Swedish habit, get into panic... might you image why.... hole in the socks .... Funny, but only if you are in the other side looking to their faces... After that, you say don't worry if you have a small or a big hole in your socks, nobody cares and this is the way that works here... Some of them hesitate to do, and then you need to encorage saying, It's because we don't have anybody to help us with the house, like in Brazil, where we have our (blessed) housekeepers, so please make my life easier! After that, they can't say no....

What I learned with Swedes: when you visit someone, try to use black socks... they won't be shame if anything is wrong with the floor.

Making an appointment to wash clothes

That's how it's works here in Sweden. I don't know if in your country is the same, but in Brazil buildings don't have a communitarian laudry.
Here, they are usually in the basement, and every laundry has a papper or a padlock that you set the chosen free day.

I have my own laudry inside my bathroom, what makes my life easier. It is more commom to have your own laundry if you live in a house.

Christmas' Decoration

Christimas's ornaments are arriving in the stores, and if you want to prepared the house for the date, you must have too much money. Decoration includes since a simple Santa Claus until furniture or curtains. Yes, they inspire you to do this, and since everything is really beautiful, you don't resist and the damage is done.
Maybe you are asking yourself about changing curtains. Yes, they also do that. Maybe this is the only thing I'll never waste my money. Too much work for so short period.
One tip, the windows' decoration will be much more beautiful this year.
