Christmas is a very big swedish tradition. We celebrate christmas Eve the 24th December but it required many preparation. We decorate a christmas tree, make lucia safron buns and other christmas candy, we buy christmas gifts and make preparations for the christmas dinner that we eat at christmas eve. Like I said many preparations. That make the christmas a very stressful holiday, but of course a very funny and cozy holiday at the same time. Christmas Eve we usually celebrate with our family.
One other swedish tradition is that we usually eat rice pudding at christmas eve. We add a nut in the porridge that we share and the one how gets the nut will get married next year. One other tradition is of course that we have santa claus coming and bringing some Christmas gifts. That is a very happy and exiting thing for all the kids. But when the kids get older they starting to understand that santa claus doesn’t exist and that it only is a parent or a friend that dress up as santa claus. The line the person usually use when they get away to dress up as santa is ”I'll just go out and buy the paper”. When santa comes with the gifts they often have a rhyme on it. Thats also a swedish tradition I think.
