So sweet 💗💕💕
Do you have a migrant crisis there?
i’m in the US, but my dad used to be pretty serious about keeping our Christmas tree alive. his grandparents, and by extension his father, were all Norwegian so perhaps that’s something cultural he inadvertently carried over into my life. his bestefar and bestemor immigrated to America with his father, so he wouldn’t have been able to pick it up from the country itself. the tree didn’t live for that long since we’re in a very hot southern state, but he was pretty upset about that. we have a fake tree now, and used that for a few years, but my family stopped putting it up before i even turned 13 😅
And the “fluffy belts” are called tinsel
Australia- fake trees
O, I would love to celebrate Christmas in Norway. We were in Oslo many times but not yet at Christmas time. My biggest wish is to eat “juleribbe”, have you tasted it already ? It looks so delicious 👌. Kind regards from Stefan
Hi, just a correction 😉 We do have the same "Colasanta" as moust of the world. But from the old days, we also have the evil "fjøsnisse" as in stablesanta 😉 If you not gave those small santa something to eat, and drink in christmastime, they gave sickness to cows, sheep and in general animals. NB: Our Santa is based on ST. Nicolas, a munck from Eiter Turkey, or Netherland 😉 I will soon have facts of Norway myself, just because i have been looking at so many people talk about Norway 😉
I know me being part German the German tradition to open their presents at night on the 24th of December
You are blessed to live in Norway. It just a likable country. 😯😇
Norway is such a beautiful country. I like the Christmas season in Norway. The cold weather no it doesn't bother me. If I would have to put up with the cold in Norway to live there yes hands down just bundle up. 😇
Did Christmas in Norway became a pagan holiday?
You haven’t heard of advent candles (the four candles)? Aren’t you from a traditionally Catholic country?
Nice video.
Mushroom tree decorations?! Lived in Norway for 30 years, and never seen that! 🙂 And I have NEVER heard of anyone eating Christmas Eve dinner at a restaurant! And all Norwegians open Christmas presents on the 24th in the evening after Christmas dinner!
Since you wondered 🙂 The Christmas tree is brought indoors on the 23rd of Dec (lille julaften) because you want the tree to be at its best on Christmas eve on the 24th. If you bring it in too early it may be "degraded" even though you normally water the tree through the base foundation. The foundation contains a reservoir that is filled and refilled with water throughout Christmas to keep it fresh.
Real tree is traditional. Put up Dec. 23rd. I think the reason is that the tree dies after 2-3 weeks even we add water to the cup in the bottom of the tree. If we put up a real tree on Dec. 1st, the tree is dead on Christmas Eve. The green will fall off and we will have a decorated brown stem with brown branches and a star at top on Christmas Eve. You can put up a plastic tree on Dec. 1st and it's pefectly fine on Christmas Eve. By the way describe the smell from a real tree. It's smell Christmas, doesn't it? Well, at least for a Norwegian. In addition. The house is fully prepared and decorated for Christmas Eve on Dec. 23rd. The house smell from green soap and decocrated – and the natural smell from a real tree. It smell heavenly, pieceful with a hint both of natural sweetness and incence. Add the smell from traditional Christmas food. The Christmas star in the window is the Christmas star. It is no "lamp" 😂
The Christmas wollen long sock is filled with candies and fruit placed on the bed post by Santa Claus, I think, during the night. The first joy on Christmas morning is to find the Christmas long sock.
24th at evening !!!
We own a forrest, so we and our grandparents all have real trees !!
If I may ask, how come you have the American pronunciation? Did you live there? Or did you acquire it while living in Norway?
Could i ask what music are playing in the background? You have really great Vlogs 😊
Mon Amie your so beautiful check madam KABANTOG BLOG HERE support madam
Jeg bor i Montana, USA, hvor det er mange furutrær. Min søsters familie kutter vanligvis en for å ha til jul. Bygningen min tillater ikke ekte trær på grunn av brannfare, så jeg har falske.
Which Tree is this one? We have one from Balsam Hill
Why would you move to a dark, cold place like Norway from such a sunny, hot place like Portugal?
You are beautiful
We did indeed have Christmas socks in my childhood. The story however was that the Christmas goat (!!) filled up the socks with candy during the night. Would love to hear if this story was used in other homes as well or if it was just something my mom made up xD
One thing I have observed is that all, or almost all, of the lights on the Christmas tree and outside decorations in Norway are white or clear, whereas here in the US at least half the families decorate with mult-colored lights. Interesting.
Love from india ♥️♥️♥️
A Norwegians response:
* Many do also eat turcky as Christmas dinner.
* Personally I have never heard of anyone opening their presents on the 25, but some may do.
* We do also have a big or normal Julenisse (Santa Claus).
* Those shiny Christmas strings are very common to have on Christmas trees in Norway.
* I have never seen those advent candles with the dates on them.
* It's also very normal to buy an advent calendar.
My family (the kids) hangs they’re stockings on the door handle, on the outside of the bedrooms and in the morning i go to my door open it and take my stocking to my bed🥰
And I don’t get presents in the stocking i get candy🍬 and I don’t think It’s very normal to hang the stocking on the fireplace in Norway.
Glad to see some of the same traditions as where I come from, makes Norway feel more homely!
I’m American (of Norsk descent). We always go to the mountain and cut down a real tree for Christmas. It is a tradition to take the sleighs and play in the snow while getting a tree. We then have hot chocolate and donuts before going home. We hang the stockings up near the fireplace mantle and Santa fills them on Christmas morning. We open one present Christmas Eve, with the rest of the presents being opened on Christmas Day. We spend the day with family and play games, etc. God Jul!!
You have really captured the norwegian Christmas! Although I've never ever heard any norwegians NOT opening the presents on the actual Chistmas Eve 24th.
As you've already said, a real tree gets brown and dies and doesnt last too long. I guess that is one of the reasons why many norwegians keep on decorating the tree on the 23rd.
I remember finding it rather odd when I learned that my latin family in law had their apartment decorated weeks and weeks before Christmas. I thought that took away some of the magic of Christmas. But now I admit our apartment is decorated a couple of weeks before the actual Chistmas Eve.
But the Star in the window (Adventsstjerne) comes up on the first week-end of "Advent" (the last 4 whole weeks before Christmas Eve) – just like the tradition is here. By the way; my mother in law also found the chistmas lights here a bit dull, us using only white og yellow ones… none of the coloured lights she was used to.
Feliz Natal!
👍❤️
