In Norway, the Christmas season, called Julebord, begins on Dec. 3. People go to bars and restaurants for the whole month of December. The real Christmas celebrations begin with the Saint Lucia celebration on December 13. The youngest daughter from each family wears a white robe with a sash, a crown with evergreens, and tall-lighted candles. The boys dress up in long white shirts and pointed hats. The children wake their parents and serve them coffee and Lucia buns. Christmas trees are decorated with candles or white lights. Inside they decorate with lovely flowers such as red tulips. Plus, they create gingerbread houses and enjoy eating hot rice pudding!
At five p.m. on December 24, church bells ring to announce the beginning of Christmas. Christmas is known as "Jul." Everyone is wished God Jul! (Merry Christmas).
4:28 The Island City Of Tromsø, Norway, Although Completely Dark In The Winter, Comes Alive In December!
One can smell clementines and gingerbread. People can hear Christmas carols being sung. Even though there is total darkness, one may see the gorgeous Northern Lights or the Aurora Borealis. This usually occurs between 6 pm and midnight. They go dogsledding, cross country skiing and they enjoy old fashioned snowball fights.
The Yule Log was also born in Norway. The ancient Norse used the Yule log in their celebration of the return of the sun at the winter solstice. “Yule” came from the Norse word hweol, meaning wheel. The Norse believed that the sun was a great wheel of fire that rolled towards and then away from the earth. This is why the family fireplace is such an important part of Christmas.
