Christmas in Sweden

Hi everyone!
It has been long time that I didn't updated here. the main reason is when you don't have any reader you are not motivated to write. but I would try to write again and the best time is Christmas Holidays.
Christmas is a very important time in Sweden as well as other Christian countries. Yes, I know Sweden is not counted as a religion base country but anyway this tradition remains.
Christmas tradition in Sweden is originated from Yule, a winter ceremony from viking era. this is why Christmas time in Sweden is called Jul (Yule).
Cheristmas Eve on 24th of December is called Julafton so everyone goes to his/her family and celebrate together with mass of food. usually the food table called "Julbord". People starts eating around lunch time. Food is varied from Cold dishes to warm dishes. At 3 p.m everyone will sit in front of TV to watch "from all of us to all of you" ( in Swedeish: Kalle Anka och hans vänner önskar God Jul. English: Duck Donald and his friends wish you a merry christmas.). Yes! it is a very popular tradition! you can not be in Sweden in Christmas Eve and do not watch "Kalle".

Merry Chrsitmas
