When do you wish someone In Denmark and Norway Merry Xmas

[IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece]

Currently on hour 2 of an argument with DF...I say because their Big Day is the 24th then it’s today, he says because Christmas is universally known as the 25th, then tomorrow.

Yorkshire puddings with Christmas dinner currently ride on this so it’s a big deal!

Today I'd say...

I would say so too! Thank you!

On the continent it’s definitely today!

Today.

n the continent it’s definitely today

So has Father Christmas visited already?

I always wish my Norwegian friend Merry Christmas Eve today as she celebrates tonight.

The 24th, but towards the evening rather than first thing in the morning

Glædelig Jul

So if I text friend in denmark around 5pm rather then now, that’s the way to do it?

I should also say, not only does the loser have to make the Yorkshire’s but they have to go and get the ingredients at 3.30pm from Sainsbury’s

We were both convinced we were right and now I’m smug as fuck

We celebrated in the evening of Christmas eve continuing into Christmas day.

Christmas Eve. I have Norwegian family and they do their Christmas today. They have a meal tonight and then towards midnight exchange presents.

Denmark here 👋. Texting around 5 should be okay, if they have little children perhaps even earlier.

And tell your df he has lost the plot. Universally known - Ha

Sorry posted too soon, a merry Christmas to you and your df 😀🎄.

Our Finnish relatives wish us Merry Christmas on Christmas Eve and send a picture of them tucking into their festive dinner.

Tonight is the big night in Norway. I would text around 3pm if I were you. 5pm is more likely to be right in the middle of the celebration.

@chomalunga I can't comment on the Nordic countries, but in Spain today is when Christmas is celebrated. Presents are brought by the three Kings on 6th January.

I'm Finnish Swedish, we celebrate this evening (24th). Christmas dinner first and then presents.

We do church at 4pm - then dinner - then presents and Santa stops by.

Yup CHristmas Eve in Scandinavia

This evening/tonight, for sure!

My cousin in Norway told me the other day that they do stockings on the morning of 24th so today and then Santa comes (someone dressed up!) this evening (early evening I think) when the children are awake and gives them presents!

I'm Norwegian. Christmas technically begins at 5pm tonight. That's when advent ends and Christmas begins in the liturgical sense, and most Norwegians still see it this way. Wishing someone Merry Christmas this evening would be totally normal. God Jul!

I'm in Denmark at the moment and everyone has been saying gleadelig (English keyboard, soz to Danes) jul for the last couple of days. But we're celebrating main event this evening. The kids are very confused as to when Santa is coming, but the Danes don't seem to know either. I'm winging it.

He’s admitted “he might be wrong!” It’s a Christmas miracle!

Can I text them now or is that way to early and I’ll look like a fool?!

Now is just fine .

We "ring in" Christmas at 5pm Norwegian time today (at least where i live, traditions may vary) so 4pm uk time today but definitely today.
