The same date as everyone else! Traditionally (by which I mean a long long time ago) the norsemen did not celebrate Christmas, as there was no such thing as Christianity in that part of the world at the time. The "men of the north" were pagans and worshipped different gods. Many pagan cultures, rather than being "destroyed" (as is the common misconcetion) by Christianity were, infact assimilated by it, and it by them. Much of our modern language takes its origins in nordic religion. Wednesday for example was the day reserved for giving thanks to Woden (known variously as Odin, Allfather, Allmaker, etc), and Thursday to Thorr (known today as god of thunder because of the mighty hammer he wielded). The points of the compas are named after the four "dwarves" who held aloft the earth the head of Ymir; Nordi, Sudri, Wustri, Austri. So which date does the rest of the world celebrate Friggas' day? Friday maybe?!

The nordic countries tend to celebrate Christmas cheifly on which date?

Dec 24 in the evening, i.e. the evening before Christ's official birthday.
