Third Sunday of Advent

It is the third Sunday of Advent, the time of the year when we look forward to the coming of Christ. We celebrate Christmas Eve next Sunday, which is also the fourth and final Sunday of Advent. It may seem strange that the fourth Sunday of Advent is on the day when we celebrate Christmas. It is not, however. I have learned today that the real first day of Christmas is Christmas Day, but that Swedes have celebrated on the Eve of Christmas night for a very long time. Traditions are nice, even though you do not understand the origin of all of them.
