Men det var inte alltid en kristen högtid. För vi har länge firat omkring det här datumet. Det är för att det är den mörkaste tiden på året. Vi har.. jag vet inte exakt vilket datum det är men runt jul så är det den mörkaste dagen på året och människor har alltid haft någon form av firande då. Och jag tror man bestämde någon gång.. alltså de kristna bestämde att den 25 skulle vara datumet som Jesus föddes, men egentligen så vet man inte när Jesus föddes. Utan man bestämde att det var den 25e, så därför firar vi jul den 25e. Men vi ska prata mest om hur vi faktiskt firar jul och vad som händer på jul och så.   ..för hela transkriptet - klicka här

Hello there and welcome to Simple Swedish podcast. And today we're talking about jule and how we fire our jule in Sweden. So it will be part about different jule traditions and you will learn you little jule-related vocabular. So I have done an episode on the Yulen before and I'm going to name them these in

the episode, a little later, under the episode's gong. So first I should I tacka some new patrons. It is Tabata, Anneta, Parmiss Pei-21, and yeah, that was them.

Thank to you for that you stodger this podden. So, yeah, we will talk about Jule in Sweden, and Jules in Sweden is

a Christian high-tide, but it was not always an Christian-hectide. For we have long-fired

on-cring this datumet and it is for that it is the the murkest time on the year.

We have, I don't exactly which date it is, but around Jule so is it

the murkest day on the year and people have always have some form

of firand then. And I think he said some one gong,

the Christians bestemned that the 25th should be the datumet as Jesus fuddess,

but, actually, so, we don't when Jesus feldes. But, man,

you know, he was, the 25th, so, yeah, therefore we're jule the 25th.

So, but we can talk most about how we actually firer Jule and

what's what's what's what's about but actually is it actually

whole December I say that is Juletiter and we begin with First

Advent and what is first Advent yeah it is first sundgern

the whole this whole this this jule-firandet and in year was

first advent the 30th November and we have then other advent and then the last

fourth advent and in in Sweden is it very very very that you tender

a lus first advent and then tend you a new light, the other, and so...

You have a lus stake with four lus in. And, you know, the first light on first advent, then tending the

other light, other advent, and so wider, till it is the fourth advent. And, not another

that is that is to have advent's light stacar in fern. So if you are in

Sweden, in December, so come you to see very many light in the funsteren. So I think it is very, very

musit to be in Sweden in December, for it is very much but it is very musing stemning,

for it is Yulstemning What is Yulstemning? Jo Yulstemning is the kind of

that you know that it's so musit it is julepint over all Yulpint

is also juldecoration also all different things with Yulthema so you have Yulpint

over all you have Jus over You have jule music, so, yeah, it is so-clart very popular with music, jull-lottar. There are many Swedish julloters. I think that I linker to a spielister with Swedish juleoters,

so you can hit in the description of the off-snittet. Yeah, so December is very musy, I think, on ground of Yulstemning and we have Yulcalendendens that begins and Yulcalendon

is a series for barn but I can absolutely recommend you also to look at to them for it is

every day from 1st December to Yulafton so one ofsnit every day very day

very very short and in the year it tisciven

I looked at first offsnitt works quite quite so

call in julcalend on SVT Play and an another

thing that is a and bude on jule fika and then drink you

glugg and glug is a crudat vine that is warm and it is very in many European

lenders all lenders have their own version of glug and in in swverge

is it is it very that you have russin and and mandel in gluggen, so you like it in gluggen. And you have a little ficabrude,

which is typical for juletiders, and it is lussecat and peppercacacob. So, if you are in Sweden and will have a little more jule stemning, drink a little glug, and eat lussiccatter and pepper cacour. And people begin say good Jule to

one other so if you are in a boutique and you have been paid and you go so can

you say good Yule and yeah it will a trevly for people

start saying good good jule to one and so very very musit think I

and a Hucktide as I think much of is Lucia So Lucia is the 13th

December but under this time so is many different Lucia

firand So what is Lucia So Lucia we to a minute of

of a hellgon of a helgon of a helgon that's a lot of a full of it actually ofsnit number

115 so listen on on on 15 on Lucia and a

and a funerander is actually not a firande but it's a slack event

also to example is it is it It's very vanly in the church to have a Lucia tog and a Lucia concer

and it is very musit, so, you sit there in the church and it is murk, and it is toost, and you hear how a song starts, same

as a Lucia tog come in. And, lengthst Fram, goes Lucia, and she is white-clad and has a crown with levande-lust. Not so brand-sacert, but it is so, it must be. So, she bears on the hoodet, a crown with levande-luse, and back on her come a tog with other people, white-cladda,

who holds in the use, and they shunger songs that are typical for Lucia and for Jule. And they go

from to scene, or what you say, and then so they have them a concert with, uh, curesonger,

whole-enkel, which are typical for Jule and Lucia. And this, this is also that you're also that you're

on school so often have schools an own lucia concert or Lucia firand

and the and the parents come and look at their children who comes

in in a Lucia tog and then stood and singer different all different

julesonger and so very misit so I recommender that if you

live in Sweden go and look and a jul concert or Lucia concert

in the church. Very, very musy and fint. And then then

we so course Yulafton and Yulafton is the the

biggest datumet to fire in Sweden and it is the 24

December. So in Sweden, we not the 25th December, but we firer the 24th December, Juleafton. And what happened on Yuleafter? Yeah, it here is a family-hugtide. So I would say that it is the the biggest hucketiden for

family in Sweden. So, um, Oftenst, so, Samlas whole family on Yulefton and you're umgose, and I'm going to be

much meat, so-clart. So we have a so-called Yulbord. And Yulbordet is, yeah,

all mat we eater on Yulafton. The biggest is Yul-Sinkan. So Yul-Sinkan is a shinker that's cooked in special

curds so it has a very juley a mack can we say and we eat it often on a bit bread with a little senap

it's also important with Jansson's frestelse which is a sort of potatis grating with Anshovis

we have cutbullar Pinskorv inlagged sill vurtbrud many other things also

that are typical it's very very much sort of typical typical matrithers and typical mat on

on on on julbordet and we have often as jule oil and must

so-clard and julmust is a special lescredry that see out as Coca-Cola, but

who absolutely not don't not make from Coca-Cola but it is a

very specific smac. So, Prova Yulmust if you didn't have

done that. And something another that is important on on

is to look at Kale Anka. Kale Anka begins Klockan 15-0-5 so

set an alarm so that you not missar Kale Anka and this this is a TV program

that sends every Yulefton since I don't 70, 80 years so

it has been so very very long that you can't on Kale Anka on

so if you will be Swedish on Yuleafton, so must you look at Calianka, clockan 10.5. And then,

little later, so, so, come, so-clart, Tomten. Tomten, also, the red-clad-clad, shegggy, person who

always come on on Yule, and comes with Yul-clappar. And Yul-clappar, a Yul-clapp, it is the present that you are the presenten

that you give one and Tomten comes with juleclappar in his sack so he comes

knackar on the door and you open the door Tomten comes in and say ho ho ho

there there are there and if if there if there if there if there

so say Yeah And Tomten comes in Sette's It is It is It's trevly

To give Tomten Something to Drinka So yeah For Tomten He job Very

Very much On July So that It's It's trevly To give him Something

To drink A little Yule Orl Or an Yul Snaps So He'd

interesting actually and I have a offsnit on Yulclappar also

ofs 164 so listen on that also if you will better more on jule clappar

Juleclappar also presents you give to one other on Juleafter Yeah and then

Dagen after Julefton it is Julldagen and in in Sweden so we not

Julldagan so much but we just take it Lunt. Eater, more, Yulmat, maybe helser

on some slecting or family medlem that didn't come on a very long day. And the day

after that is an day, Jules. And it is quite very vanly

to go out and festa maybe on yulegern or day, jule. Yeah, so after that, so

is the Jules over, more or or more. I thinked I would go through a little extra vocabular also

that's related to the yulen. So, an important detail is so-clart Yul-granen.

Yul-granen is the this tradet that we we buy and stella in

the wardasrumet so it is a tred and this this sortens tred

called for gran so it is therefore we say julgran if you have a

julgran and then so clair man granen that clair granen

that you can't that you can't that you pinted that that

You know, you hanger different, different julepint in gran. So, an julegran. And julepint is, jule decorations. And we say that

four jule, a jule-fir-firing, yeah, it is the festliness around jule. A jule-fir-fir-a-at-fir-at-fir-fir-at-fir-fir-at-fire, And you're

and you can't also on julledithen for you are often

ledig from job on the year so what you do do you or what

you do do you do you how was jul-ledih so lediheten that was

over jule to be ledig that you is ledig from jobet so

not. If you go in school so say you'llove. For a lov is when you're

ledig from school for example somalov, sportlov, julov, so. And if you

will ask someone what their planer are on you'll say, what

you do do you do? Or what what you do you or what did you? Or,

what What you did you on jule or on jule? Yeah, I'm going to go over jule. I'm going to tryffa my friends on jule. Over jule is, like, like, whole jule helen. And on jule, is maybe often a little more specific. On jule. And I should go to Sweden over jule.

I can say I can say I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to in school so it is all different ways to

say it on. And you say then you do good jule to each
