Min barndoms jular is a Christmas album from Swedish country and pop singer Kikki Danielsson. It was released in late 1987, and peaked at #19 the Swedish album chart. Some wrongly sources say it was released on November 1, 1988.^[1]

The album combines olds and newer Christmas songs, and is largerly a concept album, as many of the songs wrre Kikki Danielsson's Christmas time childhood favourites. Many of the songs contain a feeling of "sentimentality" when thinking of Christmases back in childhood and youth, while other songs have a Christian Christmas theme, with the birth of Jesus as theme.

The album was re-released on November 1, 2001, named Nu är det advent. This version also included Nu är det advent, a duet with Janne Önnerud, as a "bonus track". This song, which became the first album track, was at Svensktoppen for six round during the period December 9, 2000-January 27, 2001, peaking at #3.^[2]
