In Sweden, Christmas Day, known as "Juldagen," is a blend of pre-Christian winter solstice traditions and Christian celebrations. The holiday season starts with the beginning of Advent, leading up to St. Lucia's Day on December 13th, which is a festival of light in the dark Scandinavian winter.
The main celebration traditionally occurs on Christmas Eve ("Julafton"), while Christmas Day is often more subdued. Swedes observe the holiday according to customs that have been passed down through generations.
Swedish Christmas celebrations embrace warmth and coziness ("mysigt") during the cold winter months. Despite being quieter than the eve's festivities, it remains an integral part of the holiday season in Sweden.
