Norway is pretty much like the rest of the European countries, but some of our traditions that is considered "unique" is:
- Brown cheese
- Lunch packet (with lunch packet paper)
- Go skiing with some cocoa and a chocolate called "Kvikk Lunsj" with you

∙ 12y ago* The 17. may, which is the national day/ constitution day. Norway got a new constitution in 1814. The day is celebrated with nice outfits (optionally the traditional bunad), norwegian flags, ice cream and parades.
* Christmas, which is celebrated the 24th of December (not the 25th!!). The presents are placed under the christmas tree and are opened the evening 24th of december. Before that, a nice meal is consumed. The four sundays before christmas are called advent, and normal people have 4 candles, and one new candle is lit every sunday until christmas. So the last sunday before christmas, all four lights are lit.
* Easter. Holidays from school, 10 days or so. It is normal to go skiing in the mountains, eat a lot of chocolate from an easter egg and have yellow and purple decorations
And thats pretty much it.

∙ 11y agoNorwegians have been celebrating the holidays for years before the birth of Christ. Since ancient times, they have celebrated the midwinter with parties and feasts to mark the transition from the dark winter to the light of spring and summer. However, during the 10th century, King Hakkon decided that this pagan custom of celebrating midwinter would be moved to December 25th to coincide with the birthday of Jesus Christ. Over the centuries, the dual meaning of December 25th has changed into a purely Christian holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus, although some of the pagan traditions have remained.
