I have never heard of it. The Norwegian traditions are quiet different from the Danish and the Swedish. It is always fun for me to hear what the neighboring countries are up to. Thank you for that interesting piece of information.;)<BR/>Happy “romjul” to you.;))<BR/><BR/>Thank you Mahmud, likewise to you. Hope your “in between days” are good.;))<BR/><BR/>Gal Friday, what a nice tradition to take walks with your family. Hopefully you get a chance for a walk around New Year instead. I am happy you enjoy learning a bit about Scandinavia, please stop by again.;))<BR/><BR/>Thank you Michelle; the same to you!;)) Glad you like the pictures, but it was really very easy with such a stunning natural beauty all around.;))<BR/><BR/>Diane, I am happy your great sense of humor keeps you going through it all. And I agree, I love to now look forward, with hopes for another good year ahead.;)<BR/><BR/>Steve, thank you so much for that compliment and for stopping by.;))<BR/><BR/>Holly, my holidays were very laid back and nice, thank you and I hope yours were lovely too. Happy continuations to you as well, look forward receiving your mail.;)))<BR/><BR/>Hazel, yes, I have no idea when the Christmas here will be white, even tough the chances are increasing every year. Scandinavian Christmas time is filled with tradition as the lack of light makes everyone want to stick to something soothing and familiar, to be able to live through the darkest months of the year.;))Zuzanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02137958790178864561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-18003152482853631872008-12-28T01:23:00.000+01:002008-12-28T01:23:00.000+01:00Interesting - I've never heard of Happy Continuati...Interesting - I've never heard of Happy Continuation, but it's great!

The landscapes are (and your photos) are stunning, and what a nice way to spend Christmas. In years past, my husband and daughter and I have taken a Christmas Day walk on the beach, but couldn't this year because we had guests.<BR/> I like learning all about the Swedish customs from your blog--I had never heard of "dipping" and "continuation" day before.Gal Fridayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00643821953484820115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-73613001380696123282008-12-27T13:11:00.000+01:002008-12-27T13:11:00.000+01:00Very impressive shots .Picture perfect.

But we have no greeting specific to those in-between days. However, there is a custom in connection with New Year's: You say "thanks for the old" (the year that has passed) before New Year's, and don't necessarily greet "Happy New Year" until it <I>is</I> the new year, and then you may encounter those who say "Happy year", especially after the year is a couple of days old. (Took this foreigner several new years to work out when to drop the "new" part.) <BR/><BR/>So there's a lot of "takk for det gamle" being said during "romjul".Keera Ann Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07466103379725251225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-26750981427252477802008-12-27T10:02:00.000+01:002008-12-27T10:02:00.000+01:00Those last two photos are stunning!
