What country has a tradition of hiding brooms at Christmas?

great info.. I'm Norwegian and had never heard of these traditions.

Interesting. But we don't ride brooms anymore. Most of us have sensible cars. ;)

But if I hide all the broomsticks, how is my Mother-in-law going to get home after Christmas?!

You got me on this question! I had not heard of this tradition.

Player #138447, I am Norwegian, And I never heard of the brooms, but Nisse is in the folklore.

Norway is not the only country. Italy combine witches in their Christmas traditions as well.

I’m also Norwegian, and have never heard about it, so this must be an old and forgotten thing, not something we HAVE anymore.

im norwegian as well and they are called yule nisse, never heard of hiding the brooms tho .. lol

Player #138447, l am not Norwegian but I knew the answer, my wife is Norwegian and we celebrate Christmas in Norweguan tradition...but thankfully no lutefisk.

I love it! It's like Christmas and Halloween all in one, Happy Hallomas!

The nisse, yes, the broom thing? Never heard of. Possibly a “myth” invented by Norwegian-Americans? Not a thing in Norway, anyway

Boy, you all are keeping me on the soap box tonite. Did u see the clown in the news this Christmas, forget the city. Standing on a street corner dressed as the grinch with a sign stating, 'Santa is fake-Jesus is real'??!!! A few years back I was able to catch an am radio down south preacher (naturally) talking 'the Christmuss tree is a pagan, satanic symbol-blah blah blah blah'... I had the chance to e-mail the joker; 'tell ya something preacher-I was raised in a Baptist household ok? My folks were very involved in the church. I would've loved to be a fly on the wall if u were to chastise her that she should take down our satanic tree'. Anyway, happy B-Day Jesus and I hope that Santa is good to those on his nice list.

Player #138447, My husband is Norwegian and says he's never heard of this either. Curious.

WestCountryBoy, or my daughter in law, a real witch 🧙‍♀️

never heard of this tradition

WestCountryBoy, I guess you have to keep her until its all over LOL

that is something my granddaughter would like to hear.

WalkinDoom, or as Frank Costanza would call IT: FESTIVUS!...

Grew up in Norway. Never heard of this ever, so can't be a very common tradition

This is just not true! I am Norwegian and I have never heard anyone do this. Also nisse is the Norwegian word for Santa Claus.

I am also Norwegian and have never ever heard of this.. in over 50 years!

I’ve been living in Norway for 26 years and have never heard of or experienced this tradition

RushMama2112, 😁

I hate cleaning, I hide the broom all year round.☺️

I got my wife a brand new 2016 model broom, she jumped on and i havent seen her since

I'm Norwegian, and have never heard of this..

I havet never heard of this tradition either, and I am Norwegian too 😂 (with 62 years of experience 🤣)

they also have the "Tomte".. an elf or gnome who lives in the barn and will murder you and your family if you serve their Christmas rice pudding upside down.. no kidding.. those Norwegians are pretty metal

I am born and raised in Norway and this is not true!

This is not true for any part of Norway...

jerezaa, But so dusty, because all of the brooms have been hidden away

I have lived in Bergen for many years without knowing this.

RushMama2112, or ride on vacuums lol like in Hocus Pocus haha that was a great lil’ flick.

It is Sweden

Seriously? I am Norwegian, and I have never heard of that. I call BS.

As a native Norwegian, I have to admit that this custom I have never heard of.

Not true.

I'm norwegian and have never heard of this tradition, neither my friends or family.

I'm Norwegian...never heard about
