From France we head north to the Scandinavian countries, specifically Sweden, home of Volvo and the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. No, wait, that's in Norway, so just Volvo then. And actually Volvo is owned by the Chinese now, though it appears to still he headquartered in Sweden. I'm sure there are lots of great things in Sweden, but I've never been so I'm not too familiar with them. The music is nice, though, and that's why we're here. Have a listen to some of the great Christmas music from a land that's closer to the North Pole than you are. This is

DeleteGreat shares today Ernie! The candles- on-the-head tradition in Sweden comes from Saint Lucia Day, also in December!
