Julafton

What is it? 🤔

In Sweden the big Christmas day is the 24th, on Christmas Eve! Families decorate the tree, eat a big julbord and Tomten comes with presents.

Traditions 🎊

• ✨Decorate the Christmas tree with lights, hearts, stars and straw goats.
• ✨At 3 pm (15:00) many families watch the classic Disney Christmas show on TV together.
• ✨Tomten knocks on the door in the evening and asks "Finns det några snälla barn här?" (Are there any good children here?).
• ✨Presents often have a little rhyme (julklappsrim) written on them.

Let's make it: Paper heart baskets (julgranshjärtan) ✂️

Tip: tap a step when you've done it! Always ask a grown-up to help with scissors, ovens and anything hot.
