Norway – Brooms and Witches

As in Iceland and Sweden, Norway has its own particular Xmas customs which are unique to the country. One of the spookiest is the belief that witches come out of their hiding places on Christmas Eve. This is thought to be because they are hunting for brooms. As a result, Norwegians hide any brooms they might usually have in their homes to stay safe. Apart from this, the Xmas traditions seen in Norway are in line with what a lot of other people do normally.
