Every year on Christmas Eve, the 40+ members of the extended Johansson Family gather in my Grandparents' small ranch and have a Swedish fish dinner.
Whole sardines, lumpfish cabiar, crayfish, lax and the worst, Lutfisk. The fish has an eight-month journey before getting to my plate. This process includes being dried, soaked in lye, packed in salt and being buried underground for six months. The end product is a clear, jelly-like consistency fish with a pH value of 12.

But the whole evening is redeemed, The cousin gift exchange. This year I made these for my six month old cousin.
It's totally chaos and disorder. The living room looks like a Christmas Bomb.
