Classic Swedish songs
Songs such as Nu tändas tusen juleljus, Jul jul strålande jul, Staffan var en stalledräng and Hej tomtegubbar are strongly associated with Swedish Christmas.
Easy sing-alongs
Shared singing works best when everyone can see the lyrics and nobody feels they are performing. A song booklet keeps everyone on the same page.
When to sing
One or two songs before dinner, after a toast or between rounds of presents can be enough. Short familiar songs work especially well with children.
