Julpolska, also known as Nu ha vi ljus här i vårt hus, is a Christmas song with lyrics by Rafael Hertzberg (1845-1896) and music by Johanna Ölander (1827-1909). Song lyrics describe Christmas Eve, dated from a time when the Christmas goat at many places still was the giftbringer, not Santa Claus.
The song was also used in the 1987 film "Mer om oss barn i Bullerbyn".
An early recording was done by Gösta Jonsson and Britt Berg, appearing in a medley of Christmas songs recorded in Berlin in September 1933, and the record came out later that year.
The song has also been recorded with lyrics in Spanish by Maria Llerena as "Que felicidad ya es Navidad" on 1988 album Chiquitico mio.
