The Christmas Tree hasn't been common in Norwegian Households for that long. My Grandfather who's 91 told us yesterday that he and his older brother were determined to have a Christmas Tree when they were children. They had heard of Christmas Trees but their family had never had one. He was maybe ten years old. Getting the tree was easy enough as they lived on a farm. They didn't have anything to decorate the tree with, so his brother decided to go pick some fir cones in the mountain. The snow was so deep my Grandfather had to turn back, young as he was, but his brother was so determined having decorations for their tree he didn't go back until he had enough cones.
It's strange isn't it that this was only 80 years ago? 80 years isn't that long...
