Norwegian Christmas Calendar
The Norwegian Christmas is filled with decorating, events, family, tradition and baking. There is a time set for each and preparations are often made quite early. As each day of the season turns, the Norwegian Christmas unravels into a long winter celebration of good food, good cheer and good company.
This Christmas season we will bring you a Norwegian Christmas Calendar of various traditional and modern Norwegian events and activities so you can prepare and celebrate your Christmas with Norway.
Each Norwegian city, town and community have their own take on the Norwegian Christmas. They celebrate in slightly different ways and have slightly different traditions which reflects the unique history and customs of the area. We will include in the calendar events and activities of our experience, things we have heard from other areas around Norway and things we have learnt about from the Nordmen.
This season we hope to bring you a very Norwegian Christmas.

Nisse parties happen in many kindergartens, primary schools, church and community groups in Norway. They are a casual celebration of the julenisse (Christmas elf) tradition especially for children (but the big kids love them too).
Reindeer is synonymous with Sami culture and life but the Norsemen have certainly cottoned onto the goodness of reindeer cuisine. This rustic meal is perfect for cold Winter nights and packs you with energy for the next day of playing in the snow.
looking forward to it!
