Gratulerer med dagen

Today, May 17, is Norwegian Constitution Day. It is a day much like America's Fourth of July/Independence Day. And from everything we've studied, it is celebrated in a similar fashion. Parades, lots of food, wearing of the nations colors (red, white & blue), and fireworks. Kids are known to enjoy hot dogs and ice cream, while traditional Norwegian dishes are also served.

So, Gratulerer med dagen Norge! We look forward to joining the celebration in-person next year!

From from I've understood, not being either American nor Norwegian, your two countries are definitely among them who celebrate your National Days the biggest :-) Syttende Mai is really big in Norway. So I guess you'll feel right at home - even the colours are the same!
