Christmas in Norway
This game was forbidden by the church and the state
by the end of the middle age. However, in the more recent times, the goat has reappeared in the
tamer and less devious form of Julebukk.
Christmas tree decorations are a major part of festive celebrations in Norway. The celebrators either
decorate a spruce or a pine tree, in the living area of their home. It is decorated with white lights,
tinsel, Norwegian flags and other Christmas ornaments. Paper baskets of colored and flossy papers
are made by the children. These baskets are filled with candies and nuts. Popular decorative items
include chains made of colored papers. Colored lights are also gaining popularity, even as white
lights continue to be used to resemble the candles traditionally lit on Christmas. The family dances,
making a circle around the Christmas tree, before opening the presents.
