Merry Christmas!!

We have a typical "Norwegian Christmas" with food. The typical Norwegian selibretian is that we sing songs and we go around the christmas tree and so on..... We give gifts and we have kind of the "small christmas" and it's the first and then we have the "big christmas" wich is the first one...

Why does we selibrate Christmas?-
Christmas is the Christian church's celebration of Jesus' birthday. Though we celebrate the day in late December, we do not know for sure when Jesus was born.
A number of historians have looked into the matter and concluded that he was probably born in the spring, perhaps in March. Maybe he was not even born in the year 0, but six years later. Or a completely different time.

The original date of the celebration in Eastern Christianity was January 6. But we have it on the 24 and 25 Desember, and in many countries: January 7, 8, or 19...
"Christmas" is a compound word originating in the term "Christ's Mass". It is derived from the Middle English Cristemasse. Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus. The celebratory customs associated in various countries with Christmas have a mix of pre-Christian, Christian, and secular themes and origins..

I think everyone in Norway celibrates Chirstmas even if they are not Christians..The name derives from the Old Norse July celebration of "Jól" or "jólablót", from the original, pagan sacrificial celebration of midwinter day in Scandinavia, which was added 12 January. Hakon the Good commanded the 900 centry.

Here in Norway (where I live) we have the last day (or one week) before Christmas on Friday (20).
And what everyone like to drink is a typical "norwegian drink" "gløgg".

And what we eat is:

GOD JUL OG GODT NYTTÅR!!!!!!! :)
