Lucia (Saint Lucy's day)
A celebration of light during the darkest day of the year. All over the country, we perform LuciatΓ₯g, a girl representing Lucia at front followed by her maids singing songs like: https://open.spotify.com/user/117920423/playlist/7ms0YhpA40QuzCYZXpXyK7?si=MoulTIlWQ-KAoLMMa9HOwQ
It's tradition to eat saffronbuns & gingerbread
Midsummer
Celebrated on the longest day of the year, we dance around flower poles that symbolize fertility. There is a LOT of alcohol, and it is exactly 9 months before the most common Swedish birthday...Which happens to be mine...
Jul (Yule)
It's quite different from American christmas. It still carries it's pagan name and it's celebrated the night before. We leave porridge for the garden gnome, and before unwrapping the presents you watch Donald Duck. No one knows why but everyone does it. Tradition!
Studenten (Graduation)
All students wear a 'studentmΓΆssa' and run out of their school. You celebrate with your class and then your family. Parents wait outside of the school with a big sign with an embarrassing baby picture of the graduate. (My graduation is in 3 years)
KrΓ€ftskiva-Crayfish party (TW food lmao)
I hate this, it's just alcohol and crayfish and meat pies.
It's celebrated in August for god knows what reason, adults love it for some reason.
I think it should be canceled I fucking hate crayfish
Valborg & The first May
Celebrated on April 30st, we just light huge fucking bonfires everywhere and drink alcohol. The day after it's the workers day and everyone has a day off. The first May is mostly celebrated by socialists, leftists and communists. Capitalists hate it❀️
~End of thread~
My heritage is Swedish and SΓ‘mi, an indigenous european folk group. I have nothing left from that culture thanks to colonisation. I didn't want to appropriate something I don't have a belonging to, so I only did the Swedish part.
Thanks for reading!
