    • 1877, August Strindberg, Från Fjerdingen och Svartbäcken, page 8:

      Fourteen days before Christmas, the pastor proposed to the blonde and got a no!
    • 1946, “Mössens julafton (När nätterna blir långa) [The mice's Christmas Eve (When the nights get long)]”, Ulf Peder Olrog (lyrics), Alf Prøysen (music):
      När nätterna blir långa och kölden sätter in, tar mamma mus och samlar hela barnaskaran sin. Hon visar sen på fällan: "Akta er för den, så får vi allesammans fira jul igen." Hejsan hoppsan, fallerallera, när julen kommer ska varenda unge vara gla' [glad]! Hejsan hoppsan, fallerallera, när julen kommer ska varenda unge vara gla' [glad]!
      When the nights get long and the cold sets in, then mother mouse goes and gathers her whole group of children. She then points to the trap: "Beware of that one, and we will all get to celebrate Christmas again." Hidy howdy, fallerallera , when Christmas comes, every kid should be happy! Hidy howdy, fallerallera, when Christmas comes, every kid should be happy!
    • 2023 December 11, Magnus Liljesköld, “Fortsatt ökad spridning av trippelsmittan väntas i jul [Continued increased spread of the triple infection is expected during Christmas.]”, in Sveriges Radio:
      ”Vi måste ju till exempel träffas i jul, det är ju en del av livet och det är viktigt för vårt välbefinnande att vi får träffa varandra, bara vi tänker på att inte smitta någon som är sårbar”, säger han [statsepidemiologen].
      "We must, for example, meet during Christmas; it's a part of life and crucial for our well-being that we get to meet each other. We just need to be mindful not to infect anyone who is vulnerable," he says.
