Comment: "The "jule" in front of a commercial product (i.e. beer, snaps, marinated heering) is widely accepted in the Nordic countries at the time of the year when "nissemanden" is roaming about. It does not take away from the original message of the arrival of Christ as long as it is used with great care."

Er det virkelig SÅÅÅ længe siden??
Det må det være - min søn var ikke ret stor, men se den hver aften, det skulle han. Han var gammel nok - og tosproget nok - til at krumme tæer og hyle med latter på skift.
