It was discovered, a story was told, and then this year they put her front and center! We loved it. 💖

Sweden tree at Home for the Holidays 2025 at Roberson Museum in Binghamton, NY — The Sweden tree recognizes Jul, which is what I celebrate, and it’s kind of like 12 days of Christmas *(not the song!)*

I love the Jul goat and traditional Sami boots in the Finland tree display, however they are not restricted to just Finland. *(Sapmi/Lapland covers the far north in Norway, Sweden and Finland, and a small bit of Russia*.)
