Swedish Christmas Tradition

When we go to visit our relatives in Minnesota for Christmas, we are reminded of an ongoing Swedish tradition...Basically we all grab hands and hop around the house to this tune...haha

En Riktig Svensk Jul - 57 years old and descended from a Swedish Grandmother who instilled the traditions in us Dancing to this music since I was 4 (Julpotpurri, danser etc.) We eat risgrynsgröt and look for the almond. Have played and shared this music from NJ, to Boston, San Francisco, Miami and now LA area. I play it every Christmas, have it on my iPod, etc. My daughters now play it. Of course, one cannot really dance to this without some home made glogg in your tummy. God Jul to all!!!

@wakiva1 That is so neat! The traditions you listed in your post are all things my family has taught to me :) When my husband and I met I got him hooked on glogg and he has been hooked on it ever since. I love the holidays and traditions!

It's those awkward stuff that always gets stuck on you. Everyone can have a normal christmas dinner, but how many will remember it the month after?
