Hell yeah. Christmas is gonna be weird this year so gently caress SVT if they change anything.

Already talked with my mom and all the gifts will be bought online and its just my parents and me for christmas. Feels nice to have good and smart parents.

Yes I'm sure M, KD, SD and C would be supercool with allowing Stefan to give himself and his government more authority, reasons be damned.

They're just hanging back for now. Then when the worst of it is over they will start berating the government big time, just in time for 2022.

Wonder if M will campaign on privatising FHM.....

Norway does the same thing more or less. I think our "Disneys Julekavalkade" (IIRC it's called that) is the exact same Christmas specias as Kalle Ankas Jul. There's also the East German/Czecho Slovak Cinderella movie from the 80s, with the one guy dubbing the whole thing Russian/Polish style, that's delightful, and "Reisen til Julestjernen" which I think is an awful movie, but still it's always there. A couple of others here and there as well (some have been added and some shorter/smaller ones have slipped away over the years)

You just turn on the TV and let it roll for however long it takes, meanwhile you do preparations for Christmas dinner, get the last of the presents delivered or whatever and just pop in for a look every now and then, maybe deciding to catch one of the programs in its entirety or close to it.

It works and doesn't really need changing, it being the same every single time is the point.

Its me.

I am the person who only watches NRK once a year, just so my Christmas traditions are kept.

Was pretty fun to watch Donald Duck last year because my Croatian gf had never watched it and she loved it, warts and all.

To my family it’s mostly background noise while we wait for dinner at four.

The right wing alliance will absolutely roast the poo poo out of Löfven in the next election over how he handled Covid. And win because of it.


Even though his ultra-liberal approach is probably miles better than anything an M government would have done or done to the eldercare/sjukvården in time for the pandemic.

I think a lot of people are going to do something similar. Here it will only be my SO's parents, and we will not be in contact with other people for a week beforehand just in case.

Just ordered some different and weird beers as my own juleøl. I imagine things will be quite calm and I'll mostly have to work anyways, so a single beer in the evening to relax while playing bass sounds like a good plan to me.

Since the talk has switched to Yule entertainment, perhaps I can tan a gent by asking whether anyone remembers a movie, possibly animated, with some kids in an orphanage, set around the winter holidays?
Unfortunately, that's just about the only thing I remember about it, so I know it's a long-shot.

Eh, Norway too.

Last year, I think, the usual suspects were getting all riled up because a school somewhere held a "vinterfest" instead of something beginning with "jul", of course it was OMG SNIKISLAMISERING and all.

Except it had nothing to do with any Muslims whatsoever. See, some of the kids at the school were Jehova's Witnesses...

i honestly have a hard time getting too het up about this stuff - yule is one of a few common cultural touchstones in this country, and surrendering it to jehovah's witnesses or anyone is seen as a loss of commonality in the name of pluralism

the form it takes is often reactionary and just mean-spirited, but imo the impulse isn't that unreasonable

If a school can include all pupils by just changing a few words in a song or don’t decorate with baby Jesus then I don’t really see the issue.

It is perhaps the biggest and oldest tradition we got. I’m sentimental enough to feel that we should keep the word. The word isn’t even christian per se. Also I doubt the the people involved, that is the children, get offended. The jehovas witnesses can suck my julgris as well.

I’ll accept the compromise of keeping Jul but dechristianizing it, as it basically already is in large swathes of Scandinavia.
