XI</a> por el <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canute_IV_of_Denmark">Rey Knut</a> (luego canonizado y santificado). Fue él quien determinó que las fiestas navideñas (con su correspondiente decoración) durarían 20 días desde el 25 de diciembre, esto es, hasta hoy 13 de enero. Curiosamente, el Rey Knut lo fue de Dinamarca, aunque la celebración se ha realizado y mantenido en Suecia y Finlandia y no en ‘su’ país.
