Christmas is a very special time of year in Sweden. It is a time for families to come together and celebrate the season with traditional activities and festivities. Many families will decorate their homes with lights, ornaments, and Christmas trees. Children may also make their own Advent calendars, and on Christmas Eve, children will often leave out cookies and milk for Santa Claus. Santa, known as Julenisse in Sweden, will typically arrive by reindeer sleigh, bringing gifts and treats for the children. Many families will also gather around the Christmas tree for a special dinner and exchange presents.
