[Thor Joachim Haga]

In Norway, we had something called ‘julebukk’ (directly translated as ‘Christmas buck goat’), which is an ancient local tradition and also common when I was a kid in the 80s and early 90s. We dressed up, usually as Santas, and collected candy from neighbours. But that’s gone almost completely extinct, and seems to have been taken over by this Halloween thingie.

As I’m going through my entire collection at the moment, I’ve listened to some Christmas scores throughout the year. Feels weird to listen to them in the summer heat, but it is what it is. I’m not too bothered. I listen to what I feel like at the moment, rarely caught up in the seasons.

Sorry for the off-topic venture. More horror score recommendations are appreciated!
