Sure wish I was going in another direction to Christmas tomorrow...we always drove to Cathlamet...town on the Columbia...very Scandinavian of all persuasion...actually if weather is good I maybe could take the round about way to Tacoma...mg |

I don't know any Scandinavian language myself, but I live in Minnesota, where a lot of Swedish and Norwegian immigrants settled in the 19th century, and I do hear Scandinavian Christmas carols occasionally. Here are links to (1) a list of Julsånger (Christmas songs) at the Swedish version of Wikipedia, and the corresponding pages in (2) Norwegian and (3) Danish. While researching this, I ran across one song that I recognized, and I posted it in another thread, since it's probably not the one you're looking for: JEG ER SÅ GLAD HVER JULEKVELD. |
