great information
I lived in Stavanger, Norway for ten years in the 80’s. This book brought back so many fond memories. It also added a lot to my knowledge that I did not learn. I particularly enjoyed reading about some of the Songs and food although some of it was not favourites. I enjoyed revisiting the story of the jule nisse to compare the author’s information with my somewhat fictional jule nisse in the book, The Farting Four-Toed Troll. I look forward to more of these easy-to-read informational eBooks.

Very informative!
Informative and entertaining! A modern take on Norwegian Christmas traditions, as experienced by a non-Norwegian. Great for anyone curious about Norway, or for Norwegian-Americans wanting updated traditions.

good little book
It tells a lot about Norways Christmas customs. I enjoyed reading it. Only thing it lacks is a few pictures.
