Dance around the Christmas tree To this day, Christmastime is still called juletid in Norway – and while it has preserved some Old Norse traditions, it is also influenced by hundreds of Christian practices. Julaften, known as Christmas Eve in English, is the main day of celebration. At 5pm church bells ring throughout the cities to announce the official start of the holiday. After their tra- ditional meal, people usually hold hands and dance around the Christmas tree while sing- ing carols. Santa Claus, then comes into the living room to hand out presents. The family and guests then play games, sing and open gifts the rest of the evening. On Christmas Day they then go and visit family and friends for a Scandinavi- an dinner. Typical Norwegian Christmas
