I’m surprised it’s only 40% tbh, but I guess it’s because people are gathering and watching it together instead of in individual households? Although maybe fewer people are watching it nowadays, or at least watching it live. 

But yeah, it’s a series of clips presented by the grasshopper (I forget his name in English rn), some of the clips are the same every year and some are switched out with the newest Disney things, it’s mostly dubbed into Swedish which sucks, and it’s very much a tradition to watch it on Xmas Eve (which is when we celebrate) to the point where opening presents and eating food is planned around it.

In the early 1800s a man named Little Jon lived in this so called earth cabin (swe. ‘backstuga’) located in southern Småland, Sweden. An earthen cabin is built partially buried in the ground, in this case there’s three walls of stone and one wall made of wood. In Sweden earthen cabins was common in the forests from the 1600s until the late 1800s Link
