Anders Petters stuga or Anders Petters stuga står i ljusan låga is an old Swedish Christmas song of unknown origin. It is often sung when dancing around the Christmas tree. Alternate lyrics are Anders Perssons stuga. Lyrical, the song deals with a fire in "Anders Petters'" cottage. While the lyrics don't mention Christmas, the words "ljusen" are here strongly associated with the candles lit at Christmastime.
