Actually, you are wayyy to early laugh

Tjugondag jul ("Twentieth Day Yule"), or Tjugondag Knut (Finnish: nuutinpäivä) is a traditional festival celebrated in Sweden and Finland on January 13. It is not celebrated in Denmark despite being named for Saint Canute, the patron saint of Denmark. The days between Christmas and Tjugondag jul are filled with holidays. Christmas trees are taken down on Tjugondag jul, and the candies and cookies that decorated the tree are eaten.

On Tjugondag jul, there was a tradition analogous to modern Santa Claus, where a man dressed a goat (nuuttipukki) would visit houses. Unlike Santa Claus, this was a scary character (cf. Krampus).

Losty: That article states that it can be obtained with a prescription so it's incorrect to say that it has been banned in Ireland. All your GP has to do is to prescribe it for you and you can get it as per other prescription medicines. I'd say Neenaw can explain the in's and out's of this better for us all.

Incidentally St. Johns Wort has been linked with increased seizures in epileptics in the last few years.



Not only that but its also been shown to trigger Mania and it reduces the effectiveness of perscribes medicines, women who take the pill should not take st johns worth, it renders it useless
