Nordic Quack
Slate Magazine har en ganska rolig artikel som går under namnet Nordic Quack idag. I en lång utläggning har författaren analyserat svenskarnas tradition att vaje år klockan 15 på julafton bänka sig framför tvn för att titta på Kalle Ankas jul:
"Three years ago, I went to Sweden with my then-girlfriend (now-wife), to meet her family and celebrate my first Christmas. As an only partially lapsed Jew, I was not well-versed in Christmas traditions, and I was completely ignorant of Swedish customs and culture. So I was prepared for surprises. I was not prepared for this: Every year on Dec. 24 at 3 p.m., half of Sweden sits down in front of the television for a family viewing of the 1958 Walt Disney Presents Christmas special, "From All of Us to All of You." Or as it is known in Sweden, Kalle Anka och hans vänner önskar God Jul: "Donald Duck and his friends wish you a Merry Christmas."" //Jeremy Stahl
