I hadn't even heard about giving things up for Lent until I got an LJ, it's not something that's done in Sweden at all. The only reason people are even aware of Fat Tuesday is because traditionally that's the only day you're supposed to eat semlor but these days the shops start selling them right after Christmas and go on until Easter. (I don't like them myself and usually manage to avoid eating one at all.) So no, I'm not planning on giving anything up :-)
