Sweden may not be fully clothed in snow but the julbord is most definitely calling and Karl-Bertil is almost ready for action.
But what about some Christmas cheer from our other editions? In Switzerland we have a piece on the Swiss Mr Christmas, who “dresses trees, not women”. Meanwhile in Germany we look at Saxony’s Christmas wood carving tradition.
Slightly odder, but no less cheery, is the news of a Christmas star that lodged itself in a baby’s throat.
It’s bad news from France, though. Santa has been arrested after wielding a gun in a row – over Christmas trees.
