I hardly put up Christmas trees though I’ll probably need to start doing so now that there’s a kid in the house.
Dotting squares, street corners, and neighborhoods all over Stockholm are small Christmas tree (julgrann) vendors with freshly cut pine trees for sale.
Here’s one such vendor camped out at Medborgarplatsen (Citizen Square) in Södermalm.

One of the highlights of December besides Christmas is the celebration of Saint Lucia Day. Kids and adults alike wearing crowns of light and dressed in flowing white robes add an ethereal presence to the cold dark winter.
