Every Christmas, unfortunately, many do not look forward to this holiday season, as most others celebrate with family and friends and often have old traditions. Only in Oslo are there so many who are all alone and have nowhere to go. So then it is so wonderful that there is an event called; Alternative Christmas. And it is arranged in the Oslo congress center people's house. I have been there myself and it is a unique event. This year marked its 50th anniversary. It opens on Christmas Eve at 15-16. There are volunteers who stand for everything, and when the doors open there are always some decorations and flowers that are not in place, so then those who come can help to decorate and decorate. It is open for 3 days in a row. They have a dorm, if you get tired and want to sleep. Many of those who come are homeless and live on the streets. So it is a great opportunity for many who are dreading Christmas, to come here. And it's just coming as you are. Everyone is treated equally. When you come downstairs there is a long counter, where there are cheerful and nice people who spend time with their Christmas celebration, w / family, friends and children, who stand there and welcome everyone. You get a ribbon around your wrist with a number and then you can hang your outerwear and any bags / bags. And it is taken good care of. Then you walk to the second floor, the stairs are full of flowers. There are so many flowers and decorations that everyone can bring home 2 Christmas Day as it closes in the middle of the day. That's all you can think of for Christmas food and cakes of ice cream and other goodies. There is nothing missing here. And it gets full all the time. So this is probably one of the most beautiful Christmas celebrations in Oslo. Next Christmas is there again, and you must sign up as a volunteer. Or come to celebrate Christmas. This must be experienced.
