From December the 1st to December the 24th we put up Christmas decorations in our houses, buy Christmas presents, write Christmas cards and lots of other preparations for Christmas.
On December the 24th it is Christmas Eve here in Denmark. We often go to church in the afternoon to celebrate that Jesus Christ was born, and that is why we celebrate Christmas. Then we have Christmas dinner. Most people here in Denmark eat roasted duck, turkey, goose or pork with sweet potaoes, brown sauce and red cabbage. For dessert we have a special rice pudding, and in the pudding there is an almond. The one who gets the almond, gets a small gift for having found the almond. After the dinner we dance around our Christmas tree, which is in our living room very nicely decorated with baubles, angles, candles and lots of other decorations. When we dance around the Christmas tree, we also sing Christmas Carols. Under the Christmas tree we put all the Christmas presents, and we open the presents, when we have finished dancing around the tree.
December the 25th is called 1st Christmas day and the 26th is called 2nd Christmas day. These two days we are often together with our family.
How do you celebrate Christmas in Russia ?
Best wishes from your Danish penfriends
