Yuletide Traditions in Norway and the New Land

Author Kathleen Stokker

Minnesota Historical Society Press (October 1, 2001)

Description

The modern Norwegian-American Christmas is a warm and regenerative family holiday for millions of Americans whose ancestors came from Norway—celebrated with family feasts of lutefisk, lefse, rømmegrøt, rull, and fruit soup, observed in homes where trees are decorated with straw ornaments, flags, and heart-shaped baskets. It is the time to carry on customs whose origins have been lost in the past.

Kathleen Stokker’s Keeping Christmas: Yuletide Traditions in Norway and the New Land brings home the stories of Christmas customs in both countries. Norwegian immigrants carried with them the folk traditions, developed over centuries, that shaped their identities, and they held those practices especially dear at Christmas time, remembering family members left behind. But in the U.S., they and their descendents met the newly evolving traditions of the highly commercial American Christmas, a powerful homogenizing force in a nation of immigrants. And the celebration of Christmas in Norway continued to evolve as well, as the holiday—influenced in the twentieth century by U.S. practices—became more child-centered and more commercial. Stokker describes and traces the development of folkways on both sides of the ocean, from their origins to their practice today.

With fascinating details, with scores of accounts of ancient and modern Christmases, with recipes and photographs, this book reminds Norwegians and Norwegian Americans of their connections to each other and explains how their celebrations differ on this most joyous of holidays.

**Reliable and Efficient: Nilight 50FT 14AWG Speaker Wire Review**
Size: 14AWG-50FT
I recently set up my home theater system using the Nilight 50FT 14AWG Copper Clad Aluminum Wire, and I'm quite satisfied with its performance. The 14 gauge thickness is ideal for ensuring high-quality sound transmission, which is crucial for a setup like a 5.1 surround sound system. Although it's not pure copper, which some audiophiles might prefer, the copper clad aluminum (CCA) used in this wire provides a great balance of quality and value. It's flexible, lightweight, and offers good corrosion resistance, making it an excellent alternative to more expensive pure copper wires. The wire comes in a 50-foot length, which was just enough for my setup with speakers placed at various points around the room. One of the features I appreciate most about this product is the color-coded PVC jacket. It simplifies the installation process by making it easy to differentiate polarity, reducing the risk of errors during setup. The wire is also easy to handle; it cuts and strips smoothly, allowing for a clean and secure connection. The environmental PVC jacket provides good elasticity and fire resistance, adding an extra layer of safety to its use in home environments. While the jacket is thick, it's important to note that it isn't shielded, so I made sure to route it away from power cords to avoid potential interference. Overall, the Nilight 14AWG wire is an excellent choice for anyone looking to install a reliable and effective speaker system at home. It's straightforward to use, provides great performance, and comes at a cost-effective price point. I would definitely consider purchasing it again for future projects. Whether you're setting up a new system or upgrading an existing one, this wire is definitely worth considering.

Great for the price!

Ordered a spool of wire to install a new light bar and rock lights on my Jeep. Did the trick and cheaper than most other brands.

Decent copper clad aluminum
Size: 14AWG-50FT
If you want the best wire, you should probably go with pure copper wire. It is more expensive but conducts better and thus is more efficient and less likely to heat up. If you are doing a low power, short run of cable, however, this wire should serve your purposes well. My purposes for such wire are varied. I am a licensed ham, like to build circuits, and have an electrical engineering degree. Depending on the specific tasks I'm on, some I'll gladly use this wire, others I'll go with pure copper. In comparison to other similar copper clad aluminum wire I've used in the past, the wire is pretty flexible and easy to work with. I also prefer the softer insulation like this has. You need to fit the wire to the job but if you have the job this is right for, it'll serve you well.

good wire for the price
Size: 14AWG-50FT
This speaker wire is of good quality. I don’t know what to say about it besides that its 14 gauge, which is a bit on the thick side, but good for getting high quality sound or for doing long runs of cable. Its not pure copper, but that's not really necessary unless you are an audiophile and even then, i wonder if its really noticeable. The 50 feet it comes with is enough for a 5.1 surround system, as long as your speakers aren’t too far away. I haven't noticed any weird sounds from my system after setting it up with this cable. The housing is relatively thick but not shielded, so I was careful to keep it away from power cords. All in all this is good cable, especially for the price, and I would purchase it again.

Not as good as pure copper, but maybe good enough
Size: 14AWG-50FT, Size: 14AWG-50FT
This wire is copper-clad aluminum, which means you sacrifice some conductivity for a for a less expensive conductor. This wire is very lightly clad with copper - the thinness of the copper coating is obvious from a casual observation (see image). I measured 4-wire resistance across the entire length (50') of wire - it comes out to 0.34 ohms on each lead. This is a bit less than double what you'd expect from an equivalent length of the same gauge of multistrand copper, so if you're planning on running a long length of this it might be prudent to pretend that you're working with a slightly smaller gauge than you actually are. That is exactly the approach I'm taking with it, and it works well for me within that context.
