Celebrating Christmas becomes popular
The Roman celebrations of Christmas started around the year 350. The celebration was popular and spread during the Middle Ages. The pope decided that it was time for Christian Christmas traditions instead of the old ones.

Christian Christmas celebrations come to Norway
It took hundreds of years before Christmas celebrations came to Norway and the Nordic countries.
Haakon the Good tried to start Christian Christmas celebrations in Norway in around 930 AD. It was a bit difficult and took time since many people wished to continue with the Norse celebration of Jól. Around 1000 AD, Norway became Christian and new traditions were introduced.
