Luciadagen (St Lucia Day)
On 13 December, wearing a crown of lit candles, 'Lucia' leads a white-clad choir in tradi-
tional singing in a celebration that seems to merge the folk tradition of the longest night
and the story of St Lucia of Syracuse. Look for free performances in churches.
Julafton (Christmas Eve)
The night of the smörgåsbord and the arrival of
jultomten
(the Christmas gnome), carrying
a sack of gifts, this is the biggest celebration at Christmas time.
