By the shop in Gravermark, people had gathered to take part in the tradition of lighting the Christmas tree.
Led by Kristine Sandmæl as lead singer and Terje Brun on accordion, there was a walk around the Christmas tree with song and dance before Santa Claus announced his arrival.
All the well-behaved children received a present from Santa, and the Strauman shop provided both mulled wine and warm sausages for those in attendance.
