My Christmas in DK

Hi Guys!


Well.. Sounds like wuite a christmas for you Dori.. Thats a lot of people and a lot of food that has to be made and consumed :-)

I'll tell you a little about my x-mas... I was back in my hometown of Skive with my parents, my youngest older brother and my next oldest brother and his wife (hope it makes sense)

I arrived at the 21 st, unfortunately missing the party of the year at my school, where our class would have our yearly christmaslunch ( A danish christmaslunch is lunch with, all kinds of Hering, Pork roast, fish filets and alot of danish things such as - leverposteg, ris ala mande, frikadeller, sylte and more - all the good stuff) A real shame i missed it, but there will be one next year!

In Denmark we celebrate christams the 24th in the evenening. We started by chilling and roasting a duck then going to church at 16.00. Afterwards we would go home, light up the fireplace and have a drink! Then dinner is served. Yummy duck cooked in a local style from Bornholm (a danish island south of Sweden) Really good stuff with potatoes, sugarglazed potatoes, sauce and red cabbage! nice!

After dinner we eat Ris-alamande - a rice pudding.
Then we walk around the christmas tree ( which has real live candles) singing 10 christmas songs before we get packages!

This year I got some sweet stuff! different kinds of bowls, a camera, boxers, pillowcases, scarf and more!

Good stufF!

I'll post some pics one of the next days, to show you how to celebrate christmas - Danish style!

cheers
