On Christmas Eve we do our Norwegian traditions with my mom's side of the family. We start off the night by having a big Norwegian dinner! I had to make the cooked cabbage this year and it didn't turn out to bad! We had pork and Korv(which is a sausage)then cabbage and lots of other yummy food. All the tables were set with mom's Norwegian settings from tablecloths to candles. Then after dinner we go downstairs and dance around the christmas tree to Norwegian polka music. Its so much fun especially when good 'ol Grandma gets up and dances! Then a special visitor called a Julenissen(its a Norwegain santa claus)comes and visits and brings presents. The kids didn't even cry, and did a good job! Then we have dessert which is rice pudding with danish sauce. It is soooo yummy, and whoever finds the almond in it gets a prize(a marzipan pig or a firklover)! We had a great night and loved being together with the family!!
