In Eastern Massachusetts, it’s been a mild and sparkling day. 
In Northern Sweden, there’s snow.
Suzanne, her dad, Erik, and Erik’s family are doing cross-country skiing there. At Fjallnas hogfjallshotel and Strandgarden, where Erik’s extended family stays every year between Christmas and New Year’s, dusk descends at 1 p.m.
Can you read the signpost for Strandgarden? Me neither. But it’s pretty nice for skiing in those latitudes
. Last year, dog sledding was on the agenda, too.
