Swedish Christmas and Advent traditions and culture

[@alterado541]

You are always fun/nice to watch... Please, please, do a Swedish Christmas song!!!... Your (Swedish) birthday song helped me gain points with my girlfriend despite my terrible pronunciation and singing voice. (Thank you)... It was very nice because we are separated (until summer) by more than 10.000 Km; and there is nothing more beautiful than a Swedish woman (you love) that is happy but also flushing with embarrassment (She was in her house celebrating with her friends who also heard me singing.)... Please, please! I need at least one week to practice. Her facial contortions when I speak Swedish are priceless.

That is a lovely story! 😍 happy to hear we helped you make your Swedish girlfriend cringe a bit 😊. We have some good Christmas song suggestions in one of our last videos

I’ve been to Germany, Switzerland, and Austria during the Christmas season and I loved the Weihnachtsmärkte there, but I really want to experience a Swedish Julmarknader one day as well! That’s one of the reasons I want to learn Swedish! Tack så mycket och god jul!

Really loved your video. This year will be my first Christmas in Sweden, I will spend the last 2 weeks Of December with my boyfriends family and I’ve been advised by him that we will have/do most of the traditions/food that you mentioned in your video. I am extremely excited and cannot wait to have this lovely experience 😊 I will try to learn by heart all these words, it would be funny to pronounce them in front of all of them ☺️

[@FunSwedish]

Sounds like you are in for a very intersting and Swedish experience! Let us know how it goes!

You forgot to mention Julmust which i love haha

[@FunSwedish]

Yes, it is super tasty. We didnt mention it because have done another Christmas video about julmust. Here it is kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIeYnGmgq6tqaK8&ab_channel=FunSwedish

[@asheimmortal]

😂I didnt know anything special happens around my birthday, but im crazy so thats when I arranged my tripsnto Sweden (1997-2000) would be to get there before my birthday (Nov 30) and go home after New Year's. My ex's family had a meat fest for Christmas. Meatballs, reindeer, elk, moose, idk, all kinds of meat. Grilled, smoked, jerky. And there was the one year it was -13F on New Year's Eve and we cooked outside on the grill and people stood outside watching the fireworks because "we dont care how cold it is". 😂 To this day I still like the cold.

[@Lovelyjunglegirl]

Hello, thank you. when do you celebrate christmas exactly in Sweden? 24th, 25th, 26th of december? how is the usual procedure? what is lucia (13th december?) who brings the gifts to the children ? Santa Clause, or as in Germany "Christkind" etc. ?are there any customs and stories existing concerning that? does "knut" really exist, an event when the christmas trees are collected at the end of christmas, sometime in january? kind regards and merry christmas, God Jul,

[@adrianr650]

Thank you - in North Sweden there is a Christmas Elf with special door in the house and the elf does some pranks and leaves a present for children. Could that be one of your numbers?

[@kejmo]

Hi

[@tripleseis81]

Glöm inte Kalle Anka! Den ultimata svenska jultraditionen.

[@FunSwedish]

Verkligen! Vi har gjort en video tidigare om Kalle Anka och julen :) Du hittar den bland våra gamla videor.

[@Media56109]

In Stockholm many things occur during December in preparation but when I speak to many people they will say they are not religious. This surprises me zero religion and very eager to celebrate the birthday of Jesus Christ who is a religious leader.

[@DikWhite]

All these Christmas traditions are magical for people regardless of whether they consider Christmas a religious festival.

[@sayitinswedish]

Even if they would go to Thailand, they'd have the stake on timer!

[@FunSwedish]

😂😆 true, you don't want to risk any robbers entering the house!

[@johnmarston1605]

[@FunSwedish]

Why not? 😁

[@freewill8218]

God hjul.

[@FunSwedish]

Detsamma!
