Norwegian tradition

It's a norwegian tradition that in the days between christmas and new years eve children dress up as "nisse".


They knock at doors in the neighbourhood, sing christmas carols and receive treats.
As we don't do halloween, the kids look forward to this the whole year - 
and as long they really sing a song it's fine with me. :)


We have quite some elderly people living in the neighbourhood and I know they appreciate
having some singing children knocking on their door.


And the kids are happy for the treats...
Ahhm - this photo was taken after they ate half of all they had gathered.

What a neat tradition! I had never heard of it! I wish more fols in the U.S. would give fruit!

I love it! I would rather my children do that than Halloween.

Lovely idea :) It would be great if that tradition spread!
