Twentieth Knut Day – Creative Being

Categories:

What in the world is ”Twentieth Knut Day”…? 🙂 St Knut’s Day. In Swedish tjugondag jul (Twentieth day of Christmas) or tjugondag Knut (Twentieth Knut Day)

The 13th of January marks 20 days after Christmas, and the end of Christmas here in Sweden. Today is the day that you traditionally remove the Christmas decorations that have been up since first of Advent, and you have a Christmas tree plundering party (julgransplundring) with dancing around the Christmas tree before you throw it away. Like dancing around the Maypole at Midsummer. Same dances, basically the same songs with a few Christmassy exceptions. Why change a winning concept?

So following tradition, I today cleaned out Christmas. Out with the cosy lights and candles. I will miss them!

Just lighting it all up one last time!

Farewell beautiful advent candles.

Farewell, my favourite decoration – my ”tomte” lamps.

Bye bye electrical advent lights, and my skinny legs handsome ”tomte”.

See you next year. I miss you already!

No more Christmas. A quick fix. Need to find another table runner – and before I do, iron this one. LOL!

When did you clean out Christmas? Do you miss the decorations?

  1. traditionally the last day of Christmas for us is the 6th January so our house was ”de-Christmassed” then. Love the idea of the tree plundering party- might add that in next year 😀

    • You do that! Don’t forget to dance around the tree – and take photos. *heh heh*. It is a children’s thing these days. You could have Bree invite friends over for it?

  2. Tittade på filmen och blev inte riktigt klok på vad som var fel med sången tills jag kom på att de sjöng för mig en helt ny version av prästens lilla kråka. Verserna har melodin efter ”upp på källarbacken” medan refrängen är den rätta! Hihi! Fast det kanske finns olika versioner.

    Jag älskar julen och alla dekorationer så det är med blandade känslor de plockas bort.
    Det är tur att vi har julen under den tid på året då det är som mörkast för alla dekorationer och ljus lyser verkligen upp och ger sån gjädje!
    Kram

    • Ja de har ju blandat ihop två sånger! Märkte också det. Utan julpyntet hade jag aldrig klarat december alltså! Har tufft nog att orka med november och januari! Haha.
