About Christmas in Sweden
Christmas (Swedish: jul, IPA: [ˈjʉːl] ) is celebrated throughout December and traditionally until St. Knut's Day on January 13. The main celebration and the exchange of gifts in many families takes place on Christmas Eve, December 24; Swedes traditionally attend Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve or morning Christmas Day Mass in parishes of the Church of Sweden. The Feast of St. Lucy, celebrated during Advent, on December 13, is a major feast day celebrated by Evangelical-Lutherans prior to the arrival of Christmastide.
