What seemed weird when I visited your country

<< < (51/111) > >>

Metope:
That's interesting, because in Norway those are still the rules. No one follows them, but you're supposed to say 'Merry Christmas' on Christmas Eve, only after 5PM. It doesn't really happen though since mass is usually before that, but Christmas Eve is Christmas in Norway.

Method of Madness:
Over here people start saying it around Thanksgiving.

Barmymoo:
Considering that sundown in Norway in December is about 2pm, I think maybe people ARE following those rules, Metope!

snalin:
We also say "merry christmas" when we say goodbye to someone we won't see again until christmas is over, and when we meet someone in the week after christmas that we haven't seen for a while. It's used as a "have a nice christmas!" and a "I hope you had a nice christmas!", not just a "Hello, it's christmas right now".
