I`ll have to spend Xmas in Sweden, sounds like more fun than than watching the all the bloody repeats that make up the BBC Xmas schedule..
Ohhh, we watch tv too...
It´s just that Jesus never was important, it was always the food.Xmas is very much an attempt to eat a whole pig in one holiday :lol:
The swedish thing to do at christmas is eating, eating, eating, being at home with the family and watch tv.
You know you aren´t allowed to open the Christmas presents until you have watched Donald Duck on tv at three p.m. Holidayopen shops close 14.30 at christmas eve so that the employes get home in time.
A swedish comedy bought it up once:
-But dad we always do the same thing every christmas.
Conservative middleclass dad:
-But that is the meaning of christmas, it´s traditonal.
Now the christmas episode of that comedy has become a christmas tradition as well. :-P
Swedish christmas is very much about tv.
