You have to eat a lot. Eat, eat, eat, eat. And you eat in a special order so it's raw fish and potatoes first, which is my favorite and the only thing I eat during christmas, then you eat sausages and meatballs. All with potatoes. There's no rice or spaghetti on Christmas eve. During the dinner we talk about various things, stupid things mostly, sometimes we discuss whether the hen or the egg actually came first. The reason behind this is of course caused by another Swedish tradition which is called "Snaps". About 5 - 7 times (more the latter than the first) you stop eating and you make a toast, a toast in which you sing you don't hold a speech, and afterwards you empty your little shot that you have right next to your drink. Swedish people aren't that easilly intoxicated by alcohol but after about 4 of those things just go down, haha. Oh boy.
