Norwegian Christmas

Christmas in Norway is celebrated in one day, 24th of december. Our family start with eating ricepudding, and with an almond hidden in it. The one finding the almond will be opening the first gift that evening. So, we then get dressed and start dinner about 6pm. We eat roasted pork with red cabbage, sauerkraut, potatoes and sauce. We then have high readings of Jesus gospel. Then to burn some calories, I guess, we dance and sing around the christmas-tree. Later we eat desert and at last: open the presents!!
