Norwegian New Year Greetings
Different cultural approaches to New Year greetings highlight unique traditions, as detailed by a listener from Norway. Specific phrases are designated for varying dates around Christmas and New Year's, such as 'happy before Christmas' for Advent, 'joyful Christmas' between December 26th and 30th, and 'thank you for the old one' on New Year's Eve. The listener emphasizes that the continuance of wishing 'Happy New Year' is expected until around January 6th, but after that, silence is required to avoid confusion and correction. This elaborate structure reflects the importance of cultural expression during festive times while also serving as a guide for appropriate seasonal communication.
