It's a week after twelfth night and Swedish people still refuse to take away their Christmas decorations...This is strange for me as I've always been told it's "bad luck" to keep them up past the 7th January.
It's also three days after "Knut's day" a second chance for Swedes to take down their decorations. A bizzare tradition apparently with no religious significance whatsoever, Knut's day is 20 days after xmas and apparently a good day to eat all the leftover crap on the tree.
Anyway, it's all lies. An overattachment to interior design and a love of lights on the dark evenings means that I doubt these decaying trees and dimming stars are going anywhere in a hurry.
Well, not at least until fettisdagen, the next big event in February. Surely they'll be gone by then?
