Linked from YouTube channel Parminder Gill Visuals

Christmas in Norway (Jul i Norge) is a documentary where we explore Norwegian Christmas traditions, Norwegian food and Norwegian culture. Set in Drammen and Oslo, we also examine daily life in Norway during the Winter season.
We begin with Julebakst (Christmas Baking) and go shopping with my Norwegian in-laws for food and decorations. Next, we take a walk around Oslo and visit the famous Christmas Market: Jul i Vinterland. In the third section, we try iconic Norwegian Christmas food such as Lutefisk (Lye Fish), Ribbe (Roast Pork Belly) and Akevitt (Potato Liquor).
In the fourth section, it’s Christmas Eve – we dive into the Pagan rituals of Yule that evolved into Christmas and feast on Norwegian Christmas Food including Ribbe (Roast Pork Belly), Pinnekjott (Cured Lamb) and Turkey (Kalkun).
In the final section we examine Romjul, New Year’s Eve and what Norwegians do for fun, including Football and Skiing in Norway. We end the documentary by going out to a bar and discussing drinking culture and watch the midnight fireworks in Drammen.

INNVANDRERS GUIDE TO NORWAY Innvandrer is the Norwegian word for immigrant which literally translates to one who wanders in. “Innvandrers Guide to Norway” is a cinematic vlog and travel documentary series that aims to show what it is like living in Norway and to make Norwegian history and culture accessible to English speaking audiences. Please note that although every effort is made to maintain accuracy, I am a professional videographer and not a historian, academic or linguist.
