What day is Christmas celebrated on in Norway?

Answer 1

Norway's traditional Christmas customs include Nisse, a gnome or an elf guarding animals. It is said in Norway that Nisse can have goat-like features (Christmas Buck, or Julebukk in Norwegian). Children get bowls of a certain type of porridge ready for him - if they don't, he will play tricks on them. How is that for a traditional story for Christmas in Norway? The idea of Julebukk is a very old one and was most likely known by the Vikings. In earlier times during Christmas in Norway, one person dressed in goatskin (carrying a goat's head!) would come to the Christmas celebration unnanounced and act as if they were dying shortly afterwards. It did not take long for Christians in Norway ..... More at http://goscandinavia.about.com/od/norway/qt/xmasnorway.htm
