Because that advent calendar war named "The Julekalender" and those nisses spoke an odd mixture of English and Norwegian because they had lived in America or something like that if I don't remember it wrong Miss Phoenix! "The Julekalender" is a Danish advent calender (with a new episode each day) and the three elves spoke a mixture of Danish and English - it was created in the early nineties and is still very popular here in Denmark ;D. There´s a soundtrack as well - among the songs one called "Støvledans" (Boot Dance) - I went to a Christmas luncheon at my work place last night, and the band played a cover version of "Støvledans" and people on the dance floor actually did the same boot dance as they did in the calendar (yeah, totally silly, I know, but people had been drinking alcohol since 1.00 o´clock PM ;D). "The Julekalender" was created by "De Nattergale" (= The Nightingales). The funny thing is the "gal" means mad or weird in Danish and those three guys are really, really weird - and extremely funny as well. I think the Danish and Norwegian Christmas traditions are very similar - we have a lot of very nice Christmas beer - although we don´t have the "julebrus". I wonder if other countries have the Christmas luncheon tradition? Where people meet with family, friends or colleagues, eat, drink, dance and party (if it takes place at one´s work place, there´s the famous photocopying of diverse behinds ... ;D). Does that tradition exist in the UK, US, Australia or anywhere else? And Phoenix - you may come from the land of nisses and trolls - but Father Christmas/Santa Claus lives in Greenland! .

Yes, I noticed that as I searched through youtube, hehe... The Danish version was made in 1991 or something, and then Norway made its own version of it in 1994 ;D It was weird listening to songs I'd only heard in Norwegian/English (lol) being sung in Dansih/English instead I love 'The Julekalender' its hilarious! It was the Norwegian Group ' Travellin' Strawberries' that made the Norwegian version

Aaaw ^^ "That was a good vending Günter! Can you gjentake that? Maybe we could use it in another episode?" ;D
I think the most famous sentense from the Norwegian version was "Bob, bob, bob - ikke sant?" Every time they show "The Julekalender" on Norwegian television, people go around saying that for like months afterwards *LOL*
Well who cares what they think?? ;D

And it shouldn´t be necessary to translate "koch sokker", should it? ;D. I must say it´s nice to have you here, Phoenix, we have the same points of reference when it comes to language, culture etc. . Det er bår´dæjli!If you want to see, what Phoenix and I are babbling about, then: ("bob, bob, bob" is at 2.28)

"Det e bærre lækkert!" ;D
