Christmas in Norway

Look out for a little gnome Nisse at Christmastime. He guards all the farm animals, and he plays tricks on the children if they forget to place a bowl of special porridge for him. Families often decorate their homes with these gnomes.

Julenissen is the name for Santa Claus in Norway. He brings gifts to children on Christmas Eve.

Musevisa is a popular song that children sing in Norway at Christmas. The song is about a mother and father mouse warning their baby mice to stay away from mouse traps.

"God Jul" or "Glædelig Jul" is how children in Norway say Merry Christmas.
