Kunne nok hatt en del å si om Olav Digre ja, men lar være i tilfelle det kommer kristne innom. Tror ingen vil ha heftige religiøse diskusjoner gående. Feirer ikke sjøl Sankta Lucia eller Olsok (dog feirer jeg midtsommer med blot, og blir med på bålet i bygda på Sanktans). Som et spørsmål til nordmenna, og andre forsåvidt, hvilke høytider feirer dere personlig?
I could have quite a bit to say about Olav Digre (Saint Olaf), but I don't in case there's Christians about. I doubt anyone wants heated religious arguments.
*Raises hand* Christian here. Not catholic, and I have no idea who this Olaf guy is, but I'm glad you didn't say anything
offensive (arguments are fine!... If by some chance they get offensive it's not that fine)
Personally, I don't celebrate Saint Lucy (I have no idea what Olsok is), but everyone else does. We get candies sometimes at school, no matter how old we actually are, children get presents and it's generally a good occasion for making your parents buy something by writing a cute little letter to Santa Lucia. It's generally non-religious, though. Then there would be Christmas which we sometimes celebrate in a half-hearted way, as we're not used to it (in Albania the really important festivity is New Year). Then there's Easter, which we do not usually celebrate except for me, my sister and my little cousins messing around with eggs and watercolors (again, non-religious). And Carnevale, which technically has religious roots (Italian children usually do a 'fioretto', a good intention that they keep throughout the 40-period day (Example: "I'm not eating any chocolate during Carnevale!" or "I'm helping mom with the chores!")).
(Yup, still lurking here. Not going to attempt any Norwegian soon)
