Arson is Tradition

I was tickled by this. Though Swedish, apparently it's a tradition that even Americans can get into. 51-year old American tourists even. It's been burned down 22 times since 1966; sometimes it is smashed, sometimes it is burned before it is even completed. In 2004: "Two men were seen running from the blaze, one of whom was disguised as Father Christmas."

Perhaps this is the natural outcome of constant darkness and constant inebriation?
