Y’all Had Some Thoughts: 2019’s Most Talked About Stories

We enjoy our little slice of the internet. Our very niche slice, carved out for folks interested in Swedish customs, news and business. You may be Swedish living in the States. You may wish you were Swedish. You may be neither.

Regardless of how you ended up at Umgås Magazine, we are thankful for you. Because what kind of magazine would it be without its readers? We love seeing what resonates with you. What doesn’t. What gets people fired up. Or laughing. What stories bring out those fond memories and the emotions attached to them? A photo of a Brio doll house, a recipe for kanelbullar.

With a Facebook audience of over 30K, we see a lot of chatter. So, as 2019 comes to a close, we wanted to share the top ten stories that got our readers talking. We hope to keep you just as engaged in 2020!
