God Jul, Disney-style
I was looking at Slate, and saw an article on "Sweden's bizarre tradition of watching Donald Duck cartoons on Christmas Eve." I turned to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
akirlu and said, "Is this real?"
"Surely you've heard me talk about how Swedish television only ran cartoons once a year when I was a kid."
"Yes."
"Kalle Anka was that program. So yes."
Such is the world we live in that I then went out among the torrents and found a downloadable copy from 2006. 30 minutes of downloading and a burned CD later, and we've been able to watch Swedish-dubbed Disney cartoons for Christmas, in the fine Swedish tradition. Which means Ulrika has been able to watch cartoons the right way for the first time since childhood.
God Jul!
