My OperaChristmas in Norway in a Nutshell
Saturday, December 10, 2011 9:51:57 PM
One thing I have immensely enjoyed, but didn’t anticipate when I began blogging about my observations of Norwegian culture, is getting questions from school students all over the world about Norway for their class assignments. And the topic their assignments most often touch on is Christmas in Norway.
As such I thought I would make it easy for everyone out there by combining my past observations of Norwegian Christmas traditions into one post.

• Countdown to Christmas: The season 411 on advent and preparations for Christmas.
• On the -1st Day of Christmas: My attempt to understand why Christmas is celebrated on Christmas Eve, and also about the extended days of holiday activities.
• Eat, Drink and Be Merry: The lowdown on Christmas food and drink in Norway.
• Same Procedure as Last Year? The Same Procedure as Every Year!: The December 23rd tradition of watching Grevinnen og Hovmesteren (originally entitled Dinner for One or The 90th Birthday).
• A Christmas Train of Thought: The yuletide commercial of the national rail service NSB, which references many Norwegian Christmas traditions.
• New Year's Eve in Norway: If you’re looking a little further beyond Christmas festivities, here’s more about how the New Year is celebrated.
I have tentative plans for future posts on more Christmas topic. I hope this combo post helps! Best of luck with your school projects.
