standing and very popular tradition that includes a little gnome Nisse, who guards the farm animals. It is believed that he plays tricks on children, if they forget to serve him a bowl of special porridge. The gnome is known as Julebukk or `Christmas buck,' and his looks are similar to those of a goat. Julebukk is associated with the Viking times, when the pagans worshipped Thor and his goat. The idea of Julebukk is very old and still, very dear to the Norwegians, especially around Christmas. During the Viking period, a person used to dress in a goat skin and carry a goat head on the Christmas Day. He would join the party and die during the course of the evening, to return to life. In the early Christian era, the goat came to be associated with the devil and would appear in the party while merry making and celebrations were on. This game was forbidden by the church and the state by the end of the middle age
660 only Sussex & the Isle of Wight had not accepted the new faith. Latin became the language of the Church. From the end of the 8th cent. and during the 9th & 10th centuries Western Europe was attacked by new barbarians who came from the North Norway, Sweden & Denmark and were called Northmen. In different countries they were known as the Vikings, the Normans, the Danes. As England was more often raided from Denmark, the new invaders came to be known in English history as the Danes, the Norwegians invaded Ireland & Scotland. The Danes were of the same Germanic race as the Anglo-Saxons, but they still lived in tribes, were pagans. The Danes were well armed with long swords, spears, daggers, axes, bows, iron helmets & chain armour. Their ships were sailing-boats, but they were also provided wiht oars. The sails were often red & blue & green. At the prow of the ship there was usually a carved dragon's head which rose high out of the water. The Danes were bold & skilful seamen.

began as early as the 1930s, with the cats being exhibited in Oslo before the Second World War. In 1963 it was shown under the name Skogkatt. The breed was revived in the early 1970s; in 1972 it was formally recognised in its home country, serious breeding began in 1973. Many of the foundation cats came from near the Swedish border. Swedish breeders declared that the breed belonged to Sweden as much as to Norway. But the Norwegians disputed this and it was agreed that foundation cats must come "straight from the Norwegian forests". While single Skogkatts might cross the Swedish/Danish border while hunting in the woods no entire (unneutered) registered cats were allowed out of Norway until the breed was recognised. It was eventually allowed to be exported and was recognised in Europe in 1977 and became popular in the USA during 1985 and Britain in 1987. Siberian and other Russian Longhairs
