In spite of everything he can come back it after first having smashed a window . The chill seeps into the apartment throughout the holiday season.
Even the Jonas Karlsson novel Merry Christmas Christmas gives additional impetus to the conflicts. Employees in the large communal house, after edicts from above, Transform elljusstakarna in the windows so that everyone outside will be able to see the text “Merry Christmas”.
