I wrote on this blog
That it may be difficult to create contact with Norwegians
That conversations may sometime be a little challenging
That Norwegians require great personal space
But Something very special happens at this time of the year
I did not know what it was at first
Suddenly everyone started to say “hi”
and began to talk to each other
They gave each other hugs
and a lot of physical contact
And suddenly
Something even more special happened
Norwegians started to show emotions
Norwegian compensate for the difficult sober state
And the contrast can be surprising at times
They become curious
And happy to talk with strangers
This is a special day
it is Julebord!
If your colleagues have feedback
Positive or negative
They may wait for that specific day of the year to tell you
If someone is interested in you
That person may also wait for that day of the year to show it
It is a good idea to explain to foreigners what a julebord is
I was slightly surprised the first time it happened to me
