Rundt 2500 mennesker bor her, langt unna familien p\u00e5 fastlandet, s\u00e5 byen har bygget opp sine egne tradisjoner opp gjennom \u00e5rene. Slik ser h\u00f8ytiden ut fra inngangsd\u00f8ra v\u00e5r i Nybyen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Den m\u00f8rkeste og koseligste tiden p\u00e5 \u00e5ret<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Solen g\u00e5r ned for godt i slutten av oktober, og fra midten av november er polarnatta for alvor i gang. Ved juletider er det ikke dagslys i det hele tatt, ikke engang et bl\u00e5tt skj\u00e6r midt p\u00e5 dagen. Det h\u00f8res dystert ut, men det er det motsatte. Alle vinduer har et lys eller en stjerne, sn\u00f8en reflekterer lysene i byen, og p\u00e5 klare kvelder kan nordlyset dukke opp n\u00e5r som helst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">F\u00f8rste s\u00f8ndag i advent: fakler, en postkasse og et juletre<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sesongen starter med en av \u00e5rets fineste kvelder. F\u00f8rste s\u00f8ndag i advent (29. november i 2026) slukkes gatelysene, og folk g\u00e5r med brennende fakler fra Huset, forbi gamle Gruve 2, opp til julenissens postkasse i Nybyen. Senere samme dag tennes byens juletre p\u00e5 torget. Treet fraktes opp fra fastlandet hvert \u00e5r, siden ingenting s\u00e5 h\u00f8yt vokser her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"824\" height=\"1030\" src=\"https:\/\/gjestehuset102.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/BD4EDDCE-7DDD-49C0-80FB-4281F8EECAE8-824x1030.jpeg\" alt=\"Lokale i varme kl\u00e6r ved det opplyste juletreet og gruvearbeiderstatuen i Longyearbyen\" class=\"wp-image-320363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gjestehuset102.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/BD4EDDCE-7DDD-49C0-80FB-4281F8EECAE8-824x1030.jpeg 824w, https:\/\/gjestehuset102.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/BD4EDDCE-7DDD-49C0-80FB-4281F8EECAE8-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/gjestehuset102.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/BD4EDDCE-7DDD-49C0-80FB-4281F8EECAE8-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gjestehuset102.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/BD4EDDCE-7DDD-49C0-80FB-4281F8EECAE8-1229x1536.jpeg 1229w, https:\/\/gjestehuset102.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/BD4EDDCE-7DDD-49C0-80FB-4281F8EECAE8.jpeg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 824px) 100vw, 824px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Byens juletre, tent f\u00f8rste s\u00f8ndag i advent.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Julenissen bor i Gruve 2B (sp\u00f8r hvilket som helst barn i byen)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">H\u00f8yt oppe i fjellsiden over Nybyen ligger Gruve 2B, lokalt kjent som Julenissens gruve.
