God Jul fra Norge II

So .. continuing the last blog .. I know I know .. I'm horriffically late .. but I is a Trini .. so we supposed to be like dat!
Anyhoos...  By the time the week before Christmas comes along everyone is in a frantic state of buying gifts ... have I mentioned that Norwegians have too much money that they MUST spend (I really wont get into the tax thing because I plan to stay here in Norway ... let's not hurt our chances with the government!) So people buy an enormous amount of things for people ... and usually they are very expensive.
Christmas is celebrated on the 24th here. It is called Juleaften.  Yuh know how we say in trini Christmas eve's Adam?? (meaning the day before Christmas Eve) well that day is call Lille Juleaften here!! ... Yes there is a name for it ...
Now in Norway as 'big' as Norway is, there are many different dialects, and traditions.  So the things they eat in north, south east and west are all different ... hmm .. go figure! ... Now here comes the interesting part .... they don't eat that many different things in one family... on Juleaften at least. So you have Lutefisk, Pinekjøtt, klipfisk, Svinneribbe. But you only eat alot of ... ONE thing .... so .. for a Caribbean and a Trini .. it can get pretty boring ... how much of ONE thing can you really eat ... no wonder these people are so slim and trim!! ... if you don't have a Christmas to go crazy and eat waaaaay too much ... its no fun now ... is it??

Whey Yuh Say?
