When the first candle burns

Aftonbladet’s door is ajar.

And all readers rejoice

to chat about Advent.


Aftonbladet’s Lukas Jacobson is on site where the Gävlebocken is traditionally consecrated on the first Advent.

How do you celebrate? Chat with us!

  • Sing-along day with Carola’s classic Hey my winterland!

  • The first vegetable bread sandwiches were consumed this morning with the partner, tonight it will be gingerbread and the first Grebbestad Christmas must of the year 🕯

    Same here, we organized an Advent breakfast here at the editorial office! Not Grebbestad’s Christmas must, or lighted candles. But the first wort was mouthed.

  • LUKE! How are you? How is the weather and mood?

    I’m fine Frida, thanks for asking! The fingers get a little cold as the snow slowly sinks down. However, the atmosphere is top notch!

  • The folk festival is underway! Conference host Magnus Carlsson sings “Jag är på väg till Gävle” to the tune of Driving home for Chrismas. Later, Lisa Nilsson will also perform. Must be thousands in place.

  • Celebrating with goat dedication. Then go home and decorate gingerbread houses with the family. Everyone gets their own little one to decorate for the gingerbread village we build up every year.
