Welcome to Christmas time in Bergen! CalendarWhether you’re spending Christmas or New Year’s here, we hope you’ll enjoy your stay! Every country has its own set of traditions and Christmas in Norway might be different from what you’re familiar with. Norwegian Christmas is all about family and traditions! To most Norwegians Jul means family time – the Scandinavian concept of hygge is important. On Christmas Eve we celebrate with traditional food – usually pinnekjøtt, lutefi sk or ribbe – and opening of Christmas presents (not on Christmas day morning). Another traditional Christmas meal is risgrøt (Scandinavian rice pudding) containing one almond. The one who fi nds the almond in his or her portion, wins a prize! A solid juletre(Christmas Tree) is important and preferably located and chopped down by the father of the house a day or two before Christmas Eve. December 27 is normally the fi rst normal day of work, but many are on holiday until January. Among the popular activities in the period of romjul (between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve) is the tradition of julebukk, where kids go Christmas
carolling in their neighbourhood. In Bergen this is traditionally done by kids on New Year’s Eve (nyttårsbukk). There is (or was) an adult version of this tradition where people dress up to avoid being recognised and visit their neighbours and friends, asking for drinks. Nyttårsaften (New Year’s Eve) is celebrated with a huge dinner with your family or friends, and celebrated with fi reworks, either at home or on the town. January 1 is a day of relaxation, restitution and refl ection before heading back to work on January 2.
God Jul! Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
Important words:Jul – Yule, Christmas. Nyttår – New Year, Silvester. Julenissen – Santa Claus, Father Christmas. Nisse – similar to gnome, goblin, hob, elf, et cetera. Watches over the farm.
Look for this sign in shops, restaurants, cafés and hotels.
We hope that visitors will make use of our members’ establishments.
