Julebord

In December we celebrated the season with our annual Julebord.

Long before the introduction of Christianity, a festival was always held in Norway during the midwinter season. From it Norwegian Christmas got its name, “Jul.” It is the biggest holiday of the year in Norway.

Special recipes for this time of year have passed down for centuries from generation to generation. The special foods definitely showed up at our annual Norosta Julebord celebration. The main dishes were tasty with plenty to go around, and the pastry table was incredible. Kransekake, the famous Christmas tree-shaped dessert, also made its appearance. All who put on the event should get a Saint Olaf medal.

A special thank you to all lodge members that made this year’s Julebord so outstanding. Tusen takk for maten!
