tip: The IKEA catalog is your "Manual of Nordic Character Names." Items are listed by Scandinavian names instead of numbers. The name IKEA itself is an acronym for Ingvar Kamprad (founder), Elmtaryd (his family farm) and Agunnaryd (his village).

All hail the Yule Goat. A recurring theme in Scandinavian winter traditions is goats. Since Thor rode a magic chariot pulled by immortal goats, is it possible Santa's related to Thor? Chariot = sleigh, goats = reindeer? 🤯🎄🐐

Happy Santa Lucia Day to all the lovely Scandinavian bats! 🕯🌿

This time of the year in those lands the days have the least amount of daylight, so this Yule tradition represents the light in the darkness by lighting up candles~
