New Year

Swedes celebrate New Year with funThe Swedes celebrate New Year with fun. At the same time, when the rest of humanity is fooling around in buffoon hats, the Swedes sit in front of TV screens and with bated breath listen to the solemn vershees, which the reader proclaims in the television studio.

At the end of this ceremony, the room is filled with a bell ringing from the nearest church, which enters the counterpoint with the sounds of opening bottles of champagne.

At exactly midnight, the whole company gets up, raises glasses with foaming wine, and with feeling and tears in their eyes, all present wish each other a happy new year.
