Julefeiringen i Norge

Julefeiringen i Norge er veldig lik andre steder i verden, men det finnes også flere tydelige forskjeller. For eksempel, den norske juletradisjonen inkluderer fremdeles en nisse, men dette er ikke julenissen. I stedet vokter han over dyr og ligner litt på en geit. Tradisjonen sier at nissen vil spøke med barna hvis man ikke setter frem en skål med grøt til ham.

Denne historien går helt tilbake til Vikingtiden hvor man så noen kledd opp i geiteskinn og et geitehode som kom til fester uten forvarsler og deretter lot til å dø. Det sies at når kristne hørte den norske historien trodde de at geiten var djevelen. Kirken og myndigheten bestemte at tradisjonen var ute av kontroll så i dag er den veldig dysset ned.

Juletradisjonen starter den 13. desember hvor hver families yngste datter bærer en hvit kappe og en krone med lys. De vekker foreldrene sine tidlig og spiser frukost før de går sammen til en Santa Lucia seremoni, som er til ære for den kristne jomfru som led martyrdøden på 1400-tallet.

Selvfølgelig besøker julenissen norske barn på juleaften også. Vanligvis har nordmenn en stor fest på kvelden før første juledag, med måltider som ofte består av torsk, grøt, julegløgg, og pepperkaker. Etter måltidet kommer julenissen med gaver til barna. Dette blir så toppet med en stor julebrunch første juledag.

Christmas in Norway

Christmas celebrations in Norway are in some ways similar to those in other parts of the world, but there are also some marked differences. For example, the Norwegian tradition surrounding Christmas does still involve an elf, but that elf is certainly no Santa Claus. Instead, he guards animals and looks a little bit like a goat. Tradition says that he will play pranks on children if they do not have a bowl of porridge ready for him.

The story can be traced all the way back to the Viking days, when someone carrying a goat's head and dressed in goatskin showed up at parties without warning and then pretended to die. Apparently, when Christians heard this Norwegian story they thought that the goat was the devil. The church and the government both decided that the tradition was getting a bit out of hand, so today it is watered down.

The holiday season starts on December thirteenth, when each family's youngest daughter wears a white robe and an evergreen crown and holds some lit candles. They get their parents up early and have breakfast before going to a St. Lucia ceremony, which honors the Christian virgin who was martyred in the fourth century.

Of course, Santa Claus does visit Norwegian children on Christmas Eve as well. Typically Norwegians have a big feast the night before Christmas, often consisting of staples such as codfish, porridge, Christmas punch, and gingerbread. After the big meal, Santa Claus arrives with presents for the children. This is all topped off with another big feast around lunchtime on Christmas Day.
