What is ironic to me is that nowhere in the world is Christmas more "Christmasy" than in Sweden.

Maybe it's the climate, maybe it's the environment, I have no idea.

It sure isn't the fact that it's a hyper religious society. It seemed pretty secular to me.

But they sure knew how to celebrate Christmas. In a totally non commercial manner.
