Favorite Word: Julebukker

In a clever combination of what, as an American, I would describe as a mash-up between Halloween and Christmas, the Scandinavian folk sort of trick-or-treat while singing Christmas carols.

This celebration has made way to the U.S., and in those Scandinavian pockets of our country, it is alive & well! (ALASKA!)

Yes, there are treats.
Yes, there are costumes & disguises.
Yes, there's mythology.
Yes, there's Christianity.
Yes, there's a goat.

Yes, grandma gets run over by a reindeer....everywhere.
