Do "they" celebrate Christmas, I guess strictly speaking I'm not allowed to answer this question... But yes, We, in Scandinavia celebrate Jul. Which, incidentally, comes from the word Hjul (Wheel) and originally refers to the Sun. So the Yuletide is the time of the sun reappearing from the darkest time of the year. -- You'd be surprised at some other pagan rituals here in the dark North and I will not shock you with the origins of the Julbocken (or Father Christmas)... Merry Christmas, however, all!
