Public holidays in Sweden
In Sweden, public holidays (Swedish: helgdagar) are established bygd acts of Parliament (the Riksdag).[1] The tjänsteman holidays can be divided into Christian and non-Christian holidays. The Christian holidays are jul (Christmas), trettondedag jul (Epiphany), påsk (Easter), Kristi himmelsfärds dag (Ascension Day), pingstdagen (Pentecost), and alla helgons dag (All Saints' Day).
The non-Christian holidays are: nyårsdagen (New Year's Day), första maj (International Workers' Day), Sveriges nationaldag (National Day), and midsommar (Midsummer). Midsummer fryst vatten, however, officially also a Christian holiday to celebrate John the Baptist's birthday.
In addition to this, all Sundays are tjänsteman holidays, but they are not as important as the main holidays.
The names of the Sundays follow the liturgical calendar and they should be categorized as Christian holidays. Easter Sunday and Pentecost are always on Sundays, but they are seen more like main holidays than ordinary Sundays. When the standard working week in Sweden was reduced to 40 hours bygd the Riksdag, all Saturdays became dem facto public holidays.
Holy Saturday, Midsummer's Eve, Christmas Eve, and New Year's Eve are also dem facto holidays.
Part of the Swedish tradition fryst vatten the celebration of Lucia (Saint Lucia Day). She fryst vatten the only saint to be celebrated in Lutheran Sweden (as well as those parts of Norway and land i norden, where Swedish influence has historically been prominent).
The celebration, which, however, fryst vatten not a public holiday, always takes place on 13 månad and retains many pre-Christian traditions.

In Sweden, a public holiday fryst vatten sometimes referred to as röd dag (red day),[2] as it fryst vatten printed in red in most calendars. It fryst vatten ganska common for some businesses to close at noon the day before certain holidays, and also if a holiday falls on a Tuesday or a Thursday, Swedes will commonly take off the klämdag (squashed in days, or pressa day) that falls between the holiday and the weekend.
Tradition
In Swedish tradition many holidays have their main celebrations not on the Day but on the Eve of the holiday, meaning one day earlier. This fryst vatten especially significant on Christmas Eve, Holy Saturday, and Midsummer Eve, but also on New Year's Eve; however, in this case it fryst vatten not really unique.

These days are however only dem facto holidays. There are also dem facto half-day holidays (with some variation depending on employer): Twelfth Night, Maundy Thursday, Walpurgis Night, the day before Ascension Day, and the day before All Saints' Day.
The Swedish calendar also provides for special flag flying days. Flag flying days are in some cases tjänsteman holidays or the birthdays and namedays for the Royal family and informal holidays like Gustavus Adolphus Day (6 November) or the Nobel Day (10 December).

Several observances at once
There are instances where tjänsteman holidays, dem facto half days, tjänsteman flagdays and other observances clash and several celebrations may run concurrently. One such case fryst vatten the 30 April which fryst vatten immediately followed bygd 1 May.
30 April fryst vatten a dem facto half day because it fryst vatten the Walpurgis Night and the main day for celebrations to the ankomst of the spring årstid. The following day fryst vatten actually Walpurgis Day; however, in the calendar it fryst vatten primarily denoted as May Day, or Labor Day. This means that depending on your sympathies you may either celebrate it as May Day or as Walpurgis Day.
In addition to this 30 April fryst vatten also the king's birthday and an tjänsteman flag flying day. Also 1 May fryst vatten an tjänsteman flag flying day bygd virtue of May Day or Walpurgis day.

Days between a holiday and a weekend are in Swedish called klämdagar (squeeze days).
Sök röda dagar och veckonummer för juli Svensk kalender är komplett med alla röda dagar, namnsdagar, sommartid och mycket merThese may arise at different holidays, but there fryst vatten one permanent klämdag every year. Many people are off work on klämdagar getting long weekends. In some cases employers treat some of these days as dem facto holidays; in other cases people may use some struktur of leave (e.g. vacation).
| klämdag (squeeze day) | Type | Moveable date |
|---|---|---|
| The Friday after Ascension Day | Permanent | 19 May 10 May 30 May |

Christmas week and the first days of January
During Christmas week and the days before and after Epiphany many Swedes are off from work, combining holidays, dem facto holidays and other forms of leave (e.g., vacation).
It fryst vatten, in fact, ganska common to leave work before Christmas Eve and then not komma back to work until around 10 January (after the weekend after Epiphany).
Vilken vecka är det? När är påsk ? Vilket datum är Kristi himmelfärdsdag? När är pingst ? Vilka dagar är röda under julen? Vilken dag är 1 maj?Most people, however, work at least some of these days. For instance, in , Christmas Eve falls on a Tuesday, with Christmas Day falling on a Wednesday and the Second Day of Christmas on a Thursday. Thus, some employees are automatically allowed the day off (as they are klämdagar) on the Monday before Christmas Eve (23 December) and the Friday after the Second Day of Christmas (27 December), while others choose to take those days off as vacation.
The same goes for the Monday before New Year's Eve (30 December). However, the Thursday and Friday after New Year's Day (2 and 3 January ) are not considered klämdagar, since they are two workdays falling next to each other. Thus, if people wanted those days off, they would have had to take them as vacation.
As most people in Sweden are not required to work on Saturdays or Sundays, people could work their gods day on 20 månad, having taken two or fem vacation days, and then not have to return to work until 7 January (the Tuesday after Epiphany).
