Does Norway celebrate Christmas?

Christmas is the most important holiday for westerners in a year. Just like the Spring Festival in China, it is a warm time for family reunion. In European countries, Christmas customs are colorful. The similarities of Christmas in Norway are indoor cleaning and almost unrestrained cooking and baking before Christmas dinner. On the farm, the autumn slaughter will be postponed until Christmas. The Christmas pigs carefully raised by this family all year round play an important role in Christmas celebrations.

Every part of the pig can be used to make traditional holiday dishes, from sausages, ham, fried pork chops, fat meat and internal organs to salty pig's trotters. Of course, there are other housework. The firewood should be chopped three days before Christmas, and the yard should be cleaned to prepare for the arrival of the gift-giving God on Christmas Eve.

Christmas custom in Norway

1. After Christmas dinner, the whole family opens the presents under the Christmas tree together. Then, young and old, holding hands, walked around the Christmas tree with makeup, singing old and familiar Christmas carols and recalling the birth of the savior.

On February 25th, 65438, the first day of Christmas, the whole family got up early so as to attend the early church service in time. Church bells can be heard tinkling everywhere. In the countryside, long queues of sledges are now replaced by cars and heading for the holy places of worship. In many coastal areas, if the fjords don't freeze, you have to glide for miles.

3. Two days before Christmas, mainly family activities, and 65438+February 26th indicates the arrival of hospitality season. The children's get-together began at half past afternoon and was picked up by adults at dusk, which lasted until the early morning of the next day.
