Well then happy all saints day.

Yesterday. Today is All Souls' Day.

Hmm maybe, I thinnk its all saints days for us Lutherans, I maybe wrong

I didn't think it was. From what I understand, Lutherans and protestants have much the same dates, just with a few extra ones on top. Is it the first or the second of November where you are?

No its the first 

Ah the second for us down under.

Yup, and there's also something about how the fire refused to burn her when she was, well, being burnt, or something like that. But in practice, it basically comes down to celebration of light, it's close to the darkest time of the year (remember, the sun hardly goes up in the north half during winter, not at all in the northermost, and just a few hours for the south), all the Swedish translations of the songs basically comes down to how people/Lucia prevails over the darkness, and there's the large amounts of candles being used as people went/goes around singing and "bringing light to people".

So...what you're saying is that they're singing about bringing light, but are really just out to get lit up?
