No words necessary.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE FROM SWEDEN WHEN...

- You think that a Christmas without snow is a disaster.
- You claim that Santa Claus is a Swedish phenomenon. (he’s not, folks…)
- It is considered a sin to record Donald Duck on the video at Christmas.
- You dress up like a “stjärngosse” and don’t get why Non-Swedes think you are from the KKK and a black guy gets mad.
- During one day in June, you sing and dance around a giantic up-side down penis dressed in flowers and then proudly call it a Swedish tradition.
- You've been forced to perform the "frog dance" skipping around a palm tree.
- You think it's normal to get on the back of a truck or convertible car and drunkenly shout and sing for hours at passers-by just because you graduated from school.
- You are attending a New Year's Party that suddenly takes a break when it is time to watch “Dinner for One” (Grevinnan och Betjänten).
- You look forward all year for August when you get to gather your friends, put on silly paper hats, drink Vodka, sing and eat crayfish.
- You feel uncomfortable when the cashier asks you "how are you today", because you assume she really wants to know and expects a thorough answer - isn´t she being a little bit too private?
- You feel uncomfortable with the cashier packing your bags for you, and secretly you consider this to be very inefficient since he/she should concentrate on helping the next customer.
- The voice of Per Gessle brings back memories from every summer of your life.
- Even if you normally hate ABBA, Ace of Base, Roxette etc. you still LOVE it when you're in a club abroad and they play something Swedish (you'll probably even ask the DJ to play it…).
- You cried when Henrik Larsson cut his hair.
- You get nostalgic by thinking of the summer of 1994
- The thought taking shots of “snaps” without singing has never occurred to you.
- You wake up after a hard nights party only to experience the nationally known feeling of "Ågren".
- You know Swedish guys not necessarily are gay, only their dress code seem to have that effect on Non-Swedes.
- You try to explain to Non-Swedes that drain pipes (stuprörsbyxor) are worn by guys and it's not considered gay.
- You find it normal to have the headlights of the car on at the brightest and sunniest of days.
- IKEA is home away from home.
- You know the names of a multitude of IKEA items.
- When living outside the borders of Sweden you panic when IKEA has sold out of “julmust” before Christmas.
