▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
By ten o'clock on Christmas morning, most American homes have a full black bag of wrapping paper by the door — and by January, a credit card bill that takes until spring to pay off.
There are 9 things Americans spend hundreds of dollars on every single Christmas that Norwegians simply never buy. And I'll be honest with you first: Norwegians are not cheap at Christmas. We love it, we celebrate it for weeks, and we spend real money on it. The difference is what we don't spend on — the things that are in the bin by lunchtime, the decorations bought new every year that were perfectly good last year, and the presents nobody asked for and nobody will remember by February.
I'm Lars. I grew up in Norway, spent thirteen Christmases in Minneapolis, and came home in 2011. This is what a Norwegian Christmas actually looks like — candlelit, slow, and a great deal cheaper than you'd think — and how to bring a little of it into yours this year without anyone feeling short-changed.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
New video every week. Tell me in the comments what your family has quietly stopped buying at Christmas — and what your grandparents did at Christmas that the rest of us have forgotten. The stories you leave are what I go deep on next.
That's the Norwegian way.
