Kring julgranen, also known as Nu så är det jul igen, jultomten myser, is a Christmas song written by Alice Tegnér, and originally published in 1899 in volume 5 of Sjung med oss, mamma!.
The song, which has three verses, describes nature and seasonal change in a Nordic agricultural society, but the song lyrics of the first and second verse have led to the song being associated with Christmas. Even the final verse refers to Christmas.
