ELMONT, N.Y. -- Rickard Rakell said that for his six-month-old daughter Daisy's first Christmas, he and his wife Emmeli wanted to show her all the Swedish holiday traditions.
"Just showing her how to prepare the Christmas ham, having Santa come to the house," Rakell explained. "Small things like that."
In Sweden it's tradition to celebrate on Christmas Eve, and part of that celebration usually involves Santa coming to visit -- usually played by a relative or family friend.
"It's a classic, classic thing that when the dad goes out to buy the newspaper in the evening, you know he's going to be Santa," Marcus Pettersson told me before the holiday break.
