We here at the Norway Post send our best wishes to all our readers around the world this Christmas, from a Norway where most of us did not get a White Christmas this year. Only in the far North, a few regions are covered in the traditional "Julesnø".
Friday May 1st is also Labour Day in Norway, with parades and speeches, - and also a sort of practice day for May 17th, which of course is Norway's Birthday, our Constitution Day.
May 17th, is Norway's National Day. It is celebrated all across the nation, from the largest community to the smallest, with parades, bands, flags, national costumes, festival services and festivities with everyone taking part, marking the day in 1814, when Norway adopted its new Constitution.
