- The Christmas tree on its way home -
Det er eindel år sidan eg kosta på meg noko julehefte, ikkje har eg vore flink til å ta vare på dei heller. Nede i ei skuffe i "bokskåpet" hadde eg lagra nokre få hefte frå min eigen barndom - og der låg og tilsvarande hefte frå barndommen til den 'yngste' generasjonen - frå slutten av 1980-talet... Oppfostra med "Norsk Barneblad" var ikkje vegen lang til å tene nokre ekstra kroner før jul på å selja julehefta "Tuss og Troll", Smørbukk" og "Juletre" "Smørbukk" frå fyrste halvdel av 1950-talet, der omslagsida mangla, hadde ei soge ein ved nærare ettertanke skulle tru hadde henta inspirasjon frå eit kjent bjørnepar som held til på Nystogo på Filefjell (biletet lengre ned på sida) Heimesida til Nystogo har også mykje stoff om dei to bjørnane frå Karelen i Finland - ----------------------------------- Eit søk på nettet med stikkord "Julehefte" gav mange interessante treff. Schultze si side om juletradisjonar - med korrekt liturgisk bakgrunnsfarge - Aftenposten har og ein artikkel om 'ein rotfesta tradisjon for omlag halvpatren av nordmenn' |
"Julehefte" is the Norwegian word for the magazines 'ideal' organisations, publishing houses etc issues before Christmas. Tha later years I have not 'wastedd' money on any of this, neither have I taken too good cade of the ones travelling trouhg my hands along the years passed. Deep down in a drawer in the "book-copboard" I retrived a few magazines from my childhood - together with some from my sons equivalent period - which now is close to 20 years back in time. As a child "Norsk Barneblad" came several times a year into the mailbox, and as a small boy I earned a few crowns before Christmas selling "Smørbukk" and "Tuss og Troll". Below you will find a page from a "Smørbukk" issued in the first half of the 1950's. - Unfortunately the front page was missing, but the story about the two bear cubs makes me belive the inspiration to write the story had its origin from the Bear-couple' reciding at Nystogo Hotell at Filefjell in Vang. The webpage of Nystuen has a lot of information on the bears - who were born in Karelia region in Finland. ------------- main points in English ---------- A few links to "Christmas in Norway" |
---------------------- on the bearcubs ----------------------
In the spring of 1951 a hunter shoot and kill a bear in North-Karelia in Finland. Localizing the lair, two cubs are found. They will be named Pekka and Liisa. They were taken to a local teacher, fed and got used to be close to humans. Laterthey were sent to Helsinki, and 7 months old they arrived in Norway, with proprietor Treschow at Fritzøehus by Larvik. The plan was to release the bears in the Skrim area. In the end of october 1951 they were transported into the forest, but a good week later they arrived at a farm in the area. Trough the winter 1951-52 they hiberniated in the Skrim area, but when they woke up next spring, they soon managed to find their way back to an environment populeted with humans.
