As a swede I actually really enjoy the long, dark winters. It feels like I'm allowed to go into hibernation mode since that's what nature all around is doing. It feels like I get "mental permission" to lower the tempo, to lower the expectations and prioritize rest and introspection (and also enjoyment like a good game or book and hot chocolate and many blankets). As the winter starts to shift into spring, during what we call "vårvinter" ("spring-winter") (around March), I always get this melancholic feeling. It somehow marks the end of the resting period, and it feels like having to get out of bed on a morning when you'd do anything to keep sleeping. It's like the environment and the internal feelings don't match up anymore. The light hurts your eyes. Almost like a seasonal hangover😅 I think that the contrast between the internal "low" and all this new light and life that is coming back can make it "harder to be low", if that makes sense. And I definitely think we need to make room for all the feelings, both good ones and bad ones. However, as the spring turns more into "actual spring" and the air gets warmer and life starts to sprout everywhere, I feel soooo invigorated by it!😍🌿 Nature is amazing💚
Powder skiing, blue hours and hot chocolate in front of the fire place at the mountain cabin. Winter is the best time of the year. :)
Känner samma här om att mörka vintrar är ju så mysigt😂:)
As a fellow swede, i agree with OP.
Jag tycker att det är väldigt mysigt med mörkret i början av vintern,runt jul och det är så himla mysigt att sitta inne och värma sig när man kommer hem, och dricka varm choklad, läsa en bok och bara ta det lugnt, och det är kul med snön och så men i början av året mellan typ januari och mars/april tröttnar jag helt på det när allt bara är kallt, blött och slaskigt och så himla grått känner jag att våren inte kan komma snabbt nog.
Det är också vinter nästan halva året i Sverige, det är ofta redan nära 0 grader i oktober och det blir inte varmt på riktigt förens maj så somrarna känns väldigt korta och nästan direkt efter nyår börjar jag iallafall längta dit.
I'm Finnish. It is weird. Having constant light and constant darkness. Every year it is weird. But.. there is something fascinating and magical about it too. But it really never gets old, every year in the summer it is "woah.. so much light at midnight" and in the winter "woah, it is already dark"... That is after 50 winters and summer. It amazes me, every single year. And the sunsets are soo long.. they last for hours.
As a swede i totally agree
And when spring comes and you can really feel the sun when you are coming home from work, it makes me wanna cry every time. Sitting there on a bus, sunlight hitting your face after months of darkness.
The thing about the far north is that there's always snow, reflecting the lights from the stars etc, so it's not pitch black. I think it's worse in the south where there is no or little snow.
You go to work or school in darkness, and you go home in darkness. If you go out for lunch you get a bit of sunlight, perhaps.
Also albeit the sun is below the horizon, it still shines, the rayes of shine bounces back and forth and reaches earth.
I am a 20 year old German, singer/songwriter and musician. At the end of November 22 I came to the north of Finland with my van to work on new songs in the peace and solitude. My album is far from finished, but I have bought a small house in the middle of nowhere and will stay. It was the polar night, the northern lights, and this magnificent nature that taught me to love this beautiful country. If you are looking for peace and want to find yourself - all you have to do is come to the polar region.
Jonna actuallly once won yt's price for best cinamatografi. 😊
She also create music, sings, paint and desings jewerlly.👍
Gretings from Denmark. 🇩🇰
Right now, today, in Stockholm the sun rises at 03:55 and sets at 21:35. Thats 17 hours 40 minutes of daylight. Taking into account a few hours of twilight there´s really not much darkness at all this time of the year.
In my cabin up north, today, the sun rises at 03:43 and sets at 22:29 a total of 18 hours and 46 minutes of daylight.
It´s nice with all of the daylight but honestly, the birds never shut up which is annoying when trying to sleep in :)
True. It starts getting light earlier though. I sat up today watching the sunrise (Stockholm here as well). The sky didn't lose the last of twilight, its brighter blues, and go completely dark until closer to 1 am. Then between 2 and 3 am, pre-dawn started to lighten up the sky. That was way before the pinks and yellows started to come into view, mind you, but still. It got pretty light before the actual sun showed up. I contemplated going out for a walk.
I’m from northern Sweden (not all the way up) here the sun rises 02:50 and sets 22:45, in about a month the sun will barely set at all.
Today 14 of june just outside of Stockholm the sun goes down at 10.14 pm and going up tomorrow the 15th at 3.34 am
Also, it's light after the sun goes down and before it rises. At the moment(25 of June) it gets dark at 23:40 and light at 2:00. And that's in Stockholm, which is fairly far down in the country.
True spirit of nature that lady ❤
This girl is like a fantasy! I love her!
Remember Sweden is quite a long country, the most southern part is on the same level as the middle of UK while the most northern part is above the arctic circle 🙂
It is only the very most northern part that is entirely without sun during winter, but also the sun never sets during summer which makes it an amazing place for summer vacation parties since u can literally party all night and u never run out of energy 🙂
I live in pretty much exactly in the middle of Sweden in a city called "Sundsvall" so I don't get to experience the midnight sun here, but when my grandparents were alive I visited them and have seen it many times, it really is worth experiencing
Oooh - you've discovered the rabbit hole that is the world of Jonna Jinton... 😂
You think she's amazing... Add in to the mix also the fact that she is not only a good photographer - but also a very talented painter, jewellery designer and singer..! ❤
I live just between where Jonna lives and the Arctic Circle. Winter feels like being forever, especially in my age when the body has done its thing and has starting to ache, especially when its cold. Are you in shape you can have a lot of fun in wintertime; skiing, skating, ice-fishing... For me I do as Jonna, slow down and devote myself to sleep in (of course easier if you do not work), read those books I haven´t got time for in summer and autumn, do handicrafts, look at movies, give cooking and baking a little more time and plan for next seasons gardening. Now I feel that it´s really nice to have this time for recovering from the hectic summer. I grow veggies, foraging for berries and mushrooms and everything has to be processed and stored for the winter and that takes some time and effort. When I´m done with that it´s almost X-mas and after New Year I start with my seedlings again (I must start halv of my garden inside due to our climate, last frost can come in the middle of June). The darkness...doesn´t bother me...I think it becomes what you make of it. If you allowe yourself to get depressed by it you really get depressed by it. Of course all days aren´t happy happy but who can be happy all the times?
I live more south in Sweden and I've followed Jonna for a few years. I envy her way of living.
I wish I could do the same, but it's hard when you have children to just up and leave with them to a new place. But that's just what she did. She packed her things and left to live in the north all by her self. It was just her and her camera and she flourished. She deserves the best. I'm a huge fan of her.
Well sometimes its hard to sleep when the nights are so bright, but I love living in Sweden ❤
Jonna Jinton is a treasure.
I live further north than Jonna and love the contrasts. You need the dark to appreciate the light. Everyone talks about wanting to see the northern lights, but I think more people should want to see the bright summer nights in the north. They are spectacular even for us who see them every year. You also don't have to go north of the Arctic Circle to see the bright summer nights. Where I live (Västerbotten) the sun sets behind the horizon, but rises again before the sky has time to darken. Magically.
I was born and raised in a place called Vilhelmina, approximately 24 km north of where Jonna lives. But now i live in gävle about 60km south of Vilhelmina, and the difference in light and temperature around the year is overwhelming for me. It's like my body and brain can't deal with the darker summers, lighter winters and the warmer climate down here. My sleep schedule gets messed-up really easily, I often get overheated in the summer and my s.a.d comes and goes way more often. So my goal is the move up again as soon as possible for my own well-being 😅
I live even further to the north than she does and during the winter, with all the snow, the light from the stars on a clear night is enough to be outside. The worst period is actually during the Autumn - September, October when the days are getting short but there's no snow yet. It's usually really dark and rainy. The snow changes everything.
We sort of have more distict seasons here than the traditional ones. One of the best would be what we call Spring-Winter, when we're starting to get longer days but it's still lots of snow. just taking a trip on skis or on the snowmobile and find a south facing slope, dig a hole in the snow where you can sit and start a fire and just enjoying the day, make some coffe and maybe make lunch over the fire.
Scandinavia is magic.
Jonna makes the most breathtakingly beautiful videos. They make we want to move up north and live in a cabin in the forest. Especially in the winters, when I am most home sick for Sweden and my family in Sweden. But my family isn't from the northern Sweden, they're in the outskirts of the Stockholm region, so moving to the north would most likely make me feel lonely. Instead I like to vacation there, and get my fix of northern nature when I can. In the meantime, doing the things I did growing up during winter: lighting candles, cuddling up on the couch, drinking warm tea or cocoa, reading a book, watching a movies, baking and playing board games are good ways of combating the winter blues - that in Denmark is more rainy than snowy.
What we do during winter.. we try our best to survive.. its super hard season, thats why suicide records are high :)
💙💛🇸🇪love from Sweden.😁😃
Northernmost UK is as far south of Stockholm, and Stockholm is in southern Sweden. Northern England is as far north as Scania, our southernmost province. Jonna doesn't live that far north, there's a large chunk of Sweden further north. It's only from about where she lives it gets this extreme.
You take D-vitamin supplements from Oktober to March to combat seasonal affective disorder.. Even more important if you have darker skin...
I take vitamin D year-round, because I'm never in the sun and always wear SPF 50+ .
Partly because of vanity, because my looking younger than my years is the only asset I still have.
And partly by my friend since we were four (we were born 40 minutes apart!) died from melanoma.
Getting a tan just isn't an option when you've experienced shit like that.
I never take any vitamins and i am just fine.
The sun must be 30° over the horizon in order for the skin to produce vitamin D.
For this reason you only have 180 days in Bergen when the skin can produce vitamin D ...
I'm Swedish and i didn't know this. Just thought everyone was depressed lol
@@chrisrudling9795 Vitamin D us used by the body in multiple processes, including the immune system.
One of the factors with more disease in the winter is lower Vitamin D.
This is one of the reasons why in Scandinavia it has long been recommended to drink cod oil (tran). Cod oil is high in vitamin D.
She makes my proud to be a Swede. Absolute Superstar!
How is she a superstar?
@@Yoni123 Always one to ruin fun... He obviously didn't mean it literally...
@@SonnyKnutson Well what the heck is he talking about then? Call her what she is
@@Yoni123 If you had any social skills. You would understand that it's like calling someone an absolute Legend. Even though they are not a legend at all. It has another meaning in that moment. It simply shows he appreciates her nice work and well made videos.
@@SonnyKnutson Absolute legend is going way over board too in this case. Maybe you lack subtlety and sophistication in your social skills if that's how you talk
The thing with swedens weather is that you learn to apreaciate summer and sun but also love the vinter. It’s the change every season that’s so beautifull. Even tho I hate cold darkness and have to shove snow I love the colors or the black and white in the vinter, plus I’m allergic to grass in the summer so I hate that and I’m not good with heat or much sun but I love the color of the forest, sky, water, the animal sounds of an awake forest, the still sound of an asleep forest. I complain alot about Swedish weather just lik anyone here does but I try to see what I like about summer and this is a healthy mindset. In warmer countries it looks damp and dead kind of. That one thing I love about Sweden is that even in winter when all plants are dead it dosn’t look dead.
Your programs make me see my own country in a new way! Thank you!
Yeah, the sun and light conditions here in Sweden are a bit trippy. I live in Stockholm, and right now when I'm writing/watching this, it's just minutes after 9 pm, the sun doesn't set until in about half an hour, and tomorrow morning I will be woken by it at about 4 am, when it peeks into my bedroom window. It does throw me off, I will get up when the sun rises, walk the dogs, have breakfast, maybe work for 2-3 hours, and then I'll have to get back to bed for an hour (I work from home). I often get surprised when I check the time and realise it's like 9-10 pm and I haven't even had dinner. The opposite happens in winter, I sleep longer in the morning, and when I go the check what time it is when I want dinner in the middle of winter it's really only like 5 pm but the sun's already set two hours ago.
It's say the northern hemisphere, not only Sweden.
@@annicaesplund6613 You do realise that the Northern Hemisphere runs from the North Pole to the Equator, right? And most people who live in the northern hemisphere live south of Denmark.
@@aniieesteiner I know.
My ex moved from Florida to Minnesota, and she was shocked at the difference. Toward December, it starts getting dark here around 4:00 pm, and toward June, it's light until around 9:00-10:00. I can't imagine something as extreme as northern Sweden.
Absolutely it's true.
These extreme conditions are not in all of Sweden, it's just in the north. I've never once experienced midnight sun. In the summer where I live, which is a bit further south, it gets dark around 11. It never gets fully dark and it starts to get light again in like 4 hours, but the sun does set. And in the winter here it's never that dark around 2 pm.
They say that in the video
I grew up like that in Sweden.
Its a rough country to live in during November -March . But From April to Oktober it is the best place in the world.
Big fan of Jonna Jinton's channel, she really is an amazing artist and filmmaker. I am Swiss but have been living in Sweden for a few years, much further south than Jonna, but I am still in awe of the seasons here and agree so much with her philosophy of slowing down in winter yet keeping the body active as well. I am very motivated to go berry picking for next winter now.
Nothern light only in the winter and up north. From november till march. In the north of Norway in January or February they have a sun party, a sun festival when everybody participate, spescially the children. They draw sun pictures and celebrates the return of the sun. Maybe in Sweden too.
When my foreign friends come to visit during the summer they're always so confused by the sun 😂 I mean they KNOW but it's not until they're here and they see it that it actually hits and they are amaaaaazed
Jonna is a Swedish National treasure.
It is nice to hear an honest story about living in nordic countries, pro and cons.
Sleeping is definitely a challenge for me during the summer months. I’m VERY sensitive to even the tiniest speck of light. I have double blackout curtains, and still wake up at 5:15 because my bedroom is too bright. Sleeping mask or tinfoil on the windows is a must to somewhat manage… and I live way down south! Same latitude as Fort William in Scotland.
I LIVE 50 KM FROM HER AND I WOULD NEVER EVER MOVE ..ITS AWSOME TO LIVE UP HERE
one thing often forgotten in this type of videos is that is drinkable water //Sweden
old tales say the northen lights are the spirits highway when the dead souls rises and trawels the northen light to the other side
Im a swede living in the middle-southern sweden. It can be really rough living here. Its not as bad as in northern sweden but none the less. It gets much harder to sleep in the summers, while in the winter you feel like there isnt enough time to do stuff, you just get sleepy very early. When the darkness sets in, its easy to get depressed, one really need to make sure to eat food with vitamines since it help a bit against that. But of course its not all bad, its cosy in the winters too and it make us appreciate spring and summer so much more! You will never see swedes more happy than during the Midsummer celebration, but christmas is also a very big holiday. I suppose you can say we are a people of duality, living two different lives during the span of just one year.
Responding to your feelings to the lightconditions , it´s just freeking wonderful. Myself living 170 km south of the polar circle, but from the beginning came from 1700 km south in Sweden , you learn to addept the light. During the polar night season , you use the darkness as a lifesupport, you rest ouit after work , coasy down in the couch with a book and coffee/thea, and when summer arrives , you just use those maximum days of light to extend your energy of life. That is what´s makie the nordic people a bit more stiffer ,,they just struggles on. :-) If you´re coming to Sweden during summer , join the northern in june - middle of august, the you will get the full experience of the midnight sun. I dear you ;-)
I really must say that you succeeded to find the most talented Jonna, the goddess of the north to represent the north of Sweden.
I LOOOOOVE OUR DARK WINTERS ❤️ It's so lovely and it's coming soon yaaaaays!
from middle Sweden, that feel weirdly profound for me that gets winter depression. I love winters so much, but I hate the excessive summer kind of energy I need to put in(which is yeah, fine in the summer) it and I think my part of the world could organise jobs and daily works so much better in accordance to where we are in the world.
I like the summers here. Sunny at 11pm? Sure is :p
In Finland, summer nights are often called nightless nights because there is light 24/7(sun does not set) and this goes for few months in north of finland
As a swede dealing with dark winters, Ice Hockey is life, and listening to Dimash (I know you know bruv)
A lot of my friends use a UV light during winter.
Other than that, I live life as normal. Its nicer to go out for walks when its light out, so in winter we mostly just talk about how we look forward to be able to walk in sunlight again :)
Each season has its ups and downs, but winter depressions can be extreme for some. We had one winter where the weather was bad, and thus no glimmer of sun for almost three months. It was one of the toughest ones I've been through (I live right north of Oslo, so we usually have a few hours of light during the day in winter)
She is just lovely
i love the darkness of our winters.. i sleep like a baby from october to march.. then its gets worse until it gets hot as shit.. its the humid heat in the late summer that makes sleeping hard, for me at least...
I live 70 degrees north in northern Norway. the polar night here lasts from about 25 November before the sun returns on 21 January. I have no problem with not having light during the day. but many people get dark time depression. The best thing you can take is vitamin D. And in the summer it's never dark, and we don't sleep much. :D
Blackout curtains are the best for bright summer days.
Most "ethnic Swedes" do ok without vitamin D supplements, probably due to hundreds of years of adapting to the northern conditions (fair skin erc.). But it is very important for our immigrant community (mostly from Middle East and Africa) to take vitamin D
The dark winters really depend on where you are in Sweden. Bear in mind that you can drive from Malmö in the south to the far north of Sweden and it'll take you about 20hrs / 1900km / 1200 miles. Alternatively you can drive the same time & distance but go south, and end in Italy or Spain ... or I could drive down, through the Channel Tunnel and up to Edinburgh!
Now you understand just how damned huge the country is, you can estimate how much variation there is between the north and south of the country 🙂
[edit] Swedes pronounce J more like an English Y, and Jonna's channel is awesome!
in the summer the sun takes a short spin around the top of the globe and keeps shining
We do a lot of hygge. Accepting that you are not meant to have as much energy as you do during the summer is key. Slow down and enjoy moments of comfort. Seek out your friends and create the warmth you need.
I live in the very north of Sweden, in Kiruna. I hate the darkness in the winter 😅 Like the light in the summer, but hate that we don't get so warm summers. Sometimes we get 1-2 weeks of over 20⁰ celsius the rest of the summer can be 5-10⁰.
the snow adds reflection of the lights...
a winter night in january in the north contains more light than a landscape without snow...
without snow, things are dark, rain and the wet sucks up all the light, snow and ice reflects.
you know what I mean if you ever encountered snow in the woods/the wild
Why does it feel like you made one video about sweden, wich then turned into a rabbit hole? :P (love from Sweden)
It´s 1:30 here atm and it´s already getting lighter outside, and i don´t even live far from stockholm. As a typical introverted night-person it feels like i´m getting the mornings all for myself, kinda nice when i think about it.
This just shows how un-clued-up some folk are. England-shire is part of the UK - Scotland is part of the UK but doesn't quite extend up into the Arctic circle, nevertheless it is on the same latitude as parts of Norway and Sweden. Here in the North of Scotland we have very short dark days in the winter months and see the Northern Lights quite often (if you want to go out in the cold and darl to see). However, we're more than compensated for the dark winters by our summer nights. On good days, when there's not-much in the way of cloud cover, it hardly gets dark at all, just dim for an hour maybe.
You have to follow her or at least watch some more of her lovely artful fairylike person.
The hardest with having sun all night long is getting the damn kids to bed! "But look, its still bright outside!". You need good light blocking to the windows so it doesnt shine in the eyes when you try to sleep
dwayne needs to hear about svalbard (part of norway)
he'll have his breath taken away to highest of degrees
You need to learn a lot about Sweden. Come and visit us. You're welcome. :)
I live in southern sweden and I think Aberdeen shares the same daylight cycle as we do. So its a bit worse for us than Leeds. Edinburgh is as far north as the southern tip of sweden.
Oh ok Aberdeen is on the same latitude? I have my geography all off lol! I thought it was a lot more south than that. Did you look that up or are you just really good at Geographical locations? ;)
@@dwaynesview I have been to scotland a few years ago and I remember that Edinburgh was at the same latitude as Smygehuk which is swedens southern tip. (55 degrees N) then I guessed about Aberdeen since its about 2 hours north. About the same as the place I live in relation to Smygehuk. We drove all around the UK so it was easy to get a grasp of the distance.
Beautiful countryside you got in the UK. My favorite place we visited was a little village outside of cardiff. Stayed in a bnb hosted by a family. The local pub was a meeting ground for the 10 or so families who lived there. Had to walk cross a field to get there.
Polar nights doesn't mean that it is pit black, it means that you have very short days and no direct sunlight. It is dark most of the day, but there are still some hours of light.
At England to Lapland is only 2000 km .
All Swedish dairy products are supplied with vitamin d. Because we all eat alot of dairy and we need it during the winter
Dwayne dont forget the Abba museum in Stockholm 😉😎and after Sweden it s natural to just take a flight or ferry to Copenhagen, Denmark. Start your journey in Norway, then to Sweden, then Copenhagen. Denmark is beautiful too. Beaches, cities, farmland, islands, danish food and beer. Danish soft icecreem is famous. Deliscious icecreem, chocolate and candy is real good in whole of Scandinavia. Fresh and clean. Clean tapwater. Denmark has alot of fantastic amusement parks and zoos. Like Legoland and Knutenborg, Copenhagen zoo and others. Plenty to do in Denmark in summer. Go to a stunning beach, eat grilled and barbequed pork and hotdogs. Danish pastry is a most. And the chocolate and candy. Liquorish in Sweden and Denmark. Bring home with you Scandinavian chocolate and candy. Denmark and south of Sweden has alot of farms and agriculture. And animals. A deer forest park in Denmark. Prawns and fish sandwich with a remulade and lemon called the Stjerneskudd. Means starshoot. It s fried fish with shrimps on bread. Typical danish.
It is quite annoying though when the sun rise super early. You really have to have good shades or you wake up in an ungodly hour.
That said, a cloudy winter it awful.
To be honest I love winter and hate it at the same time. The long dark days are a big deal but I am a truck driver and it's much less tourists driving around and making problems.
serotonin. Thats what I do. Antidepressants. 😬 from november to april every year. Diagnosed with SAD…
What do we do? We take vitamin D, we drink, we fuck, we excercise, we burn candles and snuggle under the blankets ❤
We cope with the lack of vitamin C with delicious tangerines and LOTS of lussebullar ❤️
Dont forget that Sweden is a long country. Its also a big difference if you live in the very north that she do. Or if you live in the south.
Its also a difference offcourse in the seasons the amount of snow etc.
In the very south of Sweden theres hardly any snow at all during winter. More of rain instaed...
So this description is not for all Sweden.
Many Swedes medicine against winter season is traveling to for an example Thailand on trips so being home and enjoy the beautiful Swedish summer instaed.
Personally Im a introvert and love the darker period too. Instaed i do more indoor stuff that I like during that time.
In Sweden is every season very special. Not just winter and summer. Spring and autumn is also very special in Sweden. Autumn is in fact my favorite.
Like all ure discoverys and reactions of them of our country.
Btw I live in Stockholm.
Take care / J
09:55 thats a rock
Amazing.
16:55 they have enough salary to get in winter vacation 2 -4 weeks to warmer countries to south.
Just wanna point out tha t southern Sweden is a lot closer to how it is in the UK
This is only in the northern part of Sweden least populated part, so the lack of vitamin D is low
Take a few minutes, and go listen to Jonna sing. Her voice is beautiful, and the videos are amazing. (I especially like her version of the Swedish National Anthem.😊❤)
Just want to clearify the reason we use the main lights on whicles all the time, it is dye to the low setting of the sun during spring and autum. When you got the sun in your'e eyes the lights gives you a better wiev of the vehicle you meet. Besides ! you seems to be a realy good guy with a nice attitude.
Personally i love the darkness. Its so calming and i feel so safe. Like nobody can see me.
Combating having little light is mostly taking some vitamin supplements, but there’s not much. It is what it is, you just do your normal stuff I guess. I’ll saythe snow is very pretty in darkness when the moon is out because its like a billion multi-coloured white blue-ish field of stars
great video
Midsummer is approaching as well. This is the only day of the year in which the whole country is not dark and the moment when the sun sets, it will rise again. (:
She does the best videos
6:20 Its a rock on a frozen lake
i am a swed and i can answer your question @6:20 "this is the reason why sweds are crazy :D and the anwers are no no no :D
live in sweden, starting my yearly depression gaaahhh
i got homesick all of the sudden
Oh no, I know that feeling.
"WOW Sweden I had no clue that you live with practically no light in the winter. Thats insane!! Let me know if you live in the part of Sweden where you see little light?"
Answer: 94.5 % of the swedish population lives south of the arctic circle (and most of us very far south of it...)
If you take the most extreme northern town in Sweden, KIruna, they have 28 polar nights. So if we estimate winter as 4 month that far up north
then 25% of winter-season is spent without seeing the sun above the horizon.
The south and southwest of Sweden has more or less the same weather and the sun up/down as Scotland. To what degree that is exotic enough for a citizen of Leeds I have no idea 🙂
Shortest Day in Leeds is 7h 44min shortest day where I live in SW Sweden 6h 44 min so 1h of difference.
With al those candle lights and open fires indoors and cold and crapy weather outside.
In that setting what is really left to do in the wintertime in the dark?
Its in the statistics, there is a baby birth increase starting in September ending in October.
However Mars is the highest baby birth month due to midsummer. But that my friend is a hole other “reaction” 😜
Haha! Oh I see LOL! 😅😂
I am a. Swede too and i hait Winter and darkness but is it.wat is it . They say it in game of throns . Winter is coming so be prepered. Its cold Its wet and it dark . Not fun at all .

Broo if you like her Plz lisen to her musik its Amazing . One of her songs cald du gamla du fria. Its the Swedish national song. And she realy make it real Good.i like her version.
