Heart-warming Christmas Poems
Christmas - a time of nostalgia and reflection...

We told stories and played games and had lots of food to eat - more than we really needed, but we didn't complain even once. Visitors would come to our houses - sometimes in disguise - and enjoyed making us figure out who they were.

"I Am So Glad Each Christmas Eve"
"Jeg er sa glad hver Julekveld" A Norwegian Christmas Song
Jeg er sa glad hver Julekveld ("I Am So Glad Each Christmas Eve") was composed in 1859 by Peder Knudsen with lyrics by Marie Wexelsen. Translated to English, in 1931, by Professor Peder Andrew Sveeggen. I sang this song, in Norwegian, during a Sunday School Christmas program at church, many, many years ago. My mother helped me, she could speak Norwegian, she was the daughter of Norwegian immigrants.
