Sharon has Julefest plans well under way, and we look forward to seeing the full complement of our membership for this ultimate celebration of our Nordic heritage! In this season of Thanksgiving and gift-buying, it is good to remember the reasons we share our bountiful blessings with those less fortunate in our world, even in our own communities. The November 2017 issue of the Points to Ponder newsletter of the Salem/Roanoke County Food Pantry includes the following shocking statistics: "Although economic poverty and food scarcity is not the same thing, they are closely related. Impoverished families in the United States tend to have less access to nutritional food, have a low intake of fruits and vegetables, and are more likely to fill up on junk food. A poor diet can lead to long-term health effects like cancer, diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. All these health problems are more prevalent in people who live in poverty. In Roanoke County, 7.3% of the population lives in poverty, according to the US Census Bureau, and 10.2% of the population of Salem. Ninety per cent of the people the Food Pantry serves live below the poverty line. The Food Pantry makes sure fruits and vegetables are part of every food order we give away. We also work closely with the Salem Fresh Ideas Garden to make sure those we serve have everything they need to live healthy lives." Let us, with renewed commitment, continue our monthly collection of canned goods for the Food Pantry, with confidence that we are making a difference! We wish you all the Richest Blessings of the Holiday Season .. from Co-Presidents Joann Barfield and Kathy Clark ======================================================================================================= MEMBER NEWS: Gratuleer Med Dagen December birthdays: Cheri Johnson 12/8 Bob Rohrback 12/13 Helene DeVries 12/23 Cecilie Holmes 12/27 ===================================================================================================== MINUTES OF OCTOBER MEETING: THE NOVEMBER 18th MEETING OF BLÅFJEL LODGE WAS CALLED TO ORDER BY JOANN.

Julemanden comes on Christmas with his reindeer sleigh and nissers. The Christmas tree has a gold/silver star on it, is decorated right before Christmas Eve, and everyone enjoys dancing around it. St. Lucia’s Day is celebrated Dec. 13. The big meal is on Christmas Eve. It consists of roast duck/goose, boiled and sweet potatoes, red cabbage, cranberry jam/sauce, rice pudding with an almond hidden in it and gingerbread or vanilla butter cookies. The animals and birds are always given wheat/nut treats. Finland Merry Christmas – Hyvää joulua Everyone tries to be home for Christmas, even the fisherman. Cleaning the whole house is very important. The tree is put up the day before Christmas. Animals are always given treats. It is common to visit the cemeteries to remember family/friends. Candles in hanging lanterns are left there. Joulupukki gives the children presents in person while parents watch. Santa Claus actually lives in the Northern part of Finland in a Christmas Village called Korvatunturi. He rides with a Christmas goat and a reindeer. It’s a tradition to have a Sauna on Christmas Eve. Christmas Day is quiet. The next day is Boxing Day and everyone goes skiing or skating. Christmas food is lutefisk, pork, mash potatoes, rutabaga, carrots, salmon, rice pudding with plum jam/juice. Iceland Merry Christmas – Gleðileg jól Icelanders eat, skate, and decorate their tree right before Christmas. They decorate the tree on Dec. 23. Gifts are opened on Christmas Eve but the big meal is on Christmas Day with family and friends. Bonfires are lit on New Year’s Eve and Epiphany. Christmas trees are evergreens with a star or crown on top. It’s a tradition to visit the cemeteries to honor the dead. The 13 Yule Lads of Iceland come from Dec. 12 to the 24th. They have been doing this since the 1600’s. These guys are playful elves who love to eat and play tricks. They leave small gifts for children in shoes on window sills. Everyone has new Christmas clothes and books at Christmas time. Christmas dinner is always roast lamb, rock ptarmigan, and leaf bread, which is dough cut in patterns and fried. Fish is also popular to eat. Norway Merry Christmas – God Jul or Gledelig Jul In Norway, a huge heap of wheat is left outside for birds to eat during the winter. Everyone likes to go caroling dressed as Wisemen and Shepards. Norweigans light a candle every night from Christmas Eve to New Year’s Day. It’s a fun tradition to write notes on each present and read them before opening the presents. Julenissen (Nisse) is Santa Claus. The Nisse are small gnomes, who have a goat pulling a cart. Huge Christmas trees grow in Norway and are sent to other countries like England and the USA as gifts. Traditional paper heart baskets are on the trees with candles in them. Christmas dinner is pork/mutton ribs, red or white cabbage with caraway seeds/vinegar, potatoes, carrots, rice porridge with butter, cinnamon, sugar and an almond. Julekake with raisins, cardamom, fruit candies is popular. Making 7 kinds of cookies is traditional in Norway. Sweden Merry Christmas – God Jul Straw ornaments fill the Christmas trees. They remind the Swedes of Jesus in the manger. Goats of straw in the house guard the tree. Presents are opened on Christmas Eve but people go to church on Christmas Day. Everyone watches Donald Duck on Christmas Eve. Jan. 13 is the last day of the season and the tree is taken down. Jultomten is the Christmas gnome. He is often left porridge to eat. St. Lucia is celebrated every Dec. 13th. St. Lucia awakes early in the morning and serves coffee and “Lussekatts” buns made with saffron and raisins, to her parents. She wears a crown of candles and lingonberries, a white gown with a red sash, and sings the Lucia song. Other maidens and star boys follow behind her. Monks told the story of the real St.

  • Santa Claus from Country to Country
    Santa Claus from Country to Country Lesson topic: Various ways Santa is portrayed in different countries Content Concepts: -Learn about various Santa Claus legends United States, Belgium, Brazil, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, New Zealand, Romania, Russia, Netherlands, Spain, Chile. -Social Studies, history, map skills -Reading (list of library books) -Math problems -Science projects -Craft projects -Writing practice -Gaming skills -Music (list of Christmas CD’s) Proficiency levels: Grades 4 - 6 Information, Materials, Resources: Social Studies, History, and Map skills United States: The modern portrayal of Santa Claus frequently depicts him listening to the Christmas wishes of young children. Santa Claus (also known as Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Santy or simply Santa) is a folklore figure in various cultures who distributes gifts to children, normally on Christmas Eve . Each name is a variation of Saint Nicholas , but refers to Santa Claus. In today's North American, European and worldwide celebration of Christmas, people young and old simply refer to the hero of the season as Santa , or Santa Claus. (Wikipedia) Conventionally, Santa Claus is portrayed as a kindly, round-bellied, merry, bespectacled white man in a red coat trimmed with white fur, with a long white beard . On Christmas Eve, he rides in his sleigh pulled by flying reindeer from house to house to give presents to children. To enter the house, Santa Claus comes down the chimney and exits through the fireplace . During the rest of the year he lives together with his wife Mrs. Claus and his elves manufacturing toys . Some modern depictions of Santa (often in advertising and popular entertainment) will show the elves and Santa's workshop as more of a processing and distribution facility, ordering and receiving the toys from various toy manufacturers from across the world.

    YOUR O.A.T. ADVENTURE TRAVEL PLANNING GUIDE® New! Under the Midnight Sun: Sami Lapland, Norway & the Arctic Circle 2021 Small Groups: 8-16 travelers—guaranteed! (average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, At last, the world is opening up again for curious travel lovers like you and me. And the O.A.T. New! Under the Midnight Sun: Sami Lapland, Norway & the Arctic Circle itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: There was something intangibly magical about Lapland. Maybe it was the midnight sun, the endless rugged tundra, or the welcoming nature of the Sami people. All I know is that there was a true sense of Arctic magic everywhere I went, especially when I met an indigenous Sami family on their reindeer farm. As we explored the farm, they introduced me to their way of life and traditions dating back thousands of years. I was saddened to hear that their ancient culture is under threat from two forces: the construction of an Arctic Railway through Sami territory and Sami youth deviating from their traditional lifestyle. You’ll hear about these challenges as well when you meet with a Sami family on their reindeer farm. In the regions I travel to around the world, the stories of the people who live and work there are the most distinct and poignant experiences. You’ll meet with a local educator in Oslo to hear about July 22, 2011—the harrowing terrorist attack on this city—and their personal account of this day.
