That is not to say we don´t cherish some of the more common swedish traditions (some of which goes a couple of hundred years back in time). Christmas is huge, but not as a christian holiday. New years eve is big aswell. Halloween is big but has traditionally been celebrated in a different way than the US version. Easter is huge aswell, where kids dress up as witches and go around collecting candy. And the big one is Mid summers eve, where se drink schnaps, eat "sill", raise a celebratory pole and sing songs. We also have Cray Fish parties with funny hats and a party where we eat fermented fish.

Wait, so Swedish Easter is like Halloween for the rest of the world? What to you do on actual Halloween?

Not really Halloween since they only dress up as witches on Easter. There are those who trick 'r treat on Halloween but it doesn't really happen that often, there are dress-up parties though.
