    Window Today&#;s words are &#;Dan före dopparedan&#; &#; which translate somewhat curiously as &#;the day before dipping day&#;. Or, the day before Christmas.

    I always thought that the name &#;dopparedan&#; (dipping day) for Christmas Eve was somehow a reference to John the Baptist.

    But I was wrong.

    It actually comes from the Medieval Swedish tradition of dipping and drenching bread in the stock juices in which the Christmas ham has cooked, and eating it.

    This traditional practice is called &#;dopp i grytan&#; and originated in agricultural communities. People dipped their bread as a little snack while they made final preparations for the celebrations later in the evening. Some people still do this today.

    Because Christmas Eve was called &#;dopparedagen&#;, the 23rd Dec became known as &#;dan före dopparedan&#; &#; the day before the day of dipping bread.

    Today&#;s &#;dan före dopparedan&#; is more to do with making the final stressful arrangements for tomorrow. Final baking is done, last-minute Christmas presents are bought, a visit to Systembolaget (alcohol shop) is made. Long queues are to be expected.

    And then, darkness and calmness descends over homes all around
