Livshjulet

Livshjulet, also known as the "Christmas tree of life," is a traditional Scandinavian Christmas decoration. It is a small, artificial tree typically made of plastic or wire, often decorated with ornaments, lights, and a star at the top. The Livshjulet is a symbol of the eternal life and hope that Christmas brings, and it is often placed in homes and public spaces during the holiday season.

The Livshjulet was first introduced in Sweden in the 1950s as a way to bring the Christmas spirit to children who were unable to afford a real Christmas tree. Since then, it has become a popular decoration in many Scandinavian countries, including Norway, Denmark, and Finland. The Livshjulet is often decorated with traditional Scandinavian ornaments, such as snowflakes, reindeer, and Christmas balls.

The Livshjulet is typically placed in a window or on a shelf, where it can be seen by passersby. It is often accompanied by a small sign or message, such as "God Jul" (Merry Christmas) or "God Jul och Gott Nytt År" (Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year). The Livshjulet is a popular decoration during the holiday season, and it is often seen as a symbol of the joy and hope that Christmas brings.
