The 17th of May is the Norwegian national day. On this day we celebrate our constitution which was signed on the 17th of May 1814. A group of men met at Eidsvoll, in the south of Norway, and decided what laws and rules our nation would be founded upon.
To celebrate our national day, we have big parades with children waving their flags, marching bands and banners. We eat as much icecream as we want to, and eat many wieners. Some of us have on our national costume, which is called bunad. The 17th of May is the most patriotic day of the year. We show that we love our country.
As you may have heard, our class is a part of the graduation tradition, which is called the russtime. The Russ have their own parade on the 17th of May, where they wear funny clothes, act like clowns and have fun! People laugh and we are the funniest part of the parade.
