Norwegian Christmas: Part 1

God Jul! (Merry Christmas!)

This month we will be dedicating several blog posts to Christmas - and specifically Christmas in Norway.

We had our first official Christmas celebration on Saturday evening, as we were invited to dinner with two local couples. It was a great evening of traditional (and delicious!) Christmas food and good conversation.

Pinnekjøtt is a very traditional meat (lamb) eaten at Christmas in Norway. It starts with a curing process (salting and drying). The next step varies by region, but our hosts steamed it. Zack and I were honestly a bit nervous, but we both really liked it!

We are so thankful for friends that introduce us to the customs and traditions of this country. It's fun to learn and experience everything!
