Christmas

Dear Russian pen friends . In Denmark we dance around the Christmas tree. And when we are dancing around the Christmas tree we are also singing. We are singing: “silent nigth ”, “a child was born in Bethlehem” and “Now it´s Christmas again” and many other Christmas carols! We put a star on the top of the tree. We also put present under the tree. When we come to December we are decorating are houses, with pixies, Candles, and other Christmas decorations.

Love Frederikke, Emilie H and Emilie L .

Christmas Eve

We will tell you a bit about Christmas Eve.
On Christmas Eve family and friends go together to celebrate Jesus´ Birthday. After the Christmas Food the family dance around the Christmas tree and sing many Christmas songs. After the dancing and singing everybody gets presents. After we opened all the presents everybody goes around and say thank you for the presents. Then we eat some chocolates and drink some tea and coffee. On Christmas eve the family go to bed late and sleep until the afternoon next day.
Best Wishes From your pen friends in Denmark!
Lasse and Villads

Advent calendars

In Denmark we have an advent calendar in TV, and a chocolate advent calendar, which we open every day up to Christmas. We have also a stocking for presents. The Santa Claus come and put presents in the stocking. Someone get presents in the stocking every day up to Christmas, and other persons have a present every Sunday up to Christmas.
In Denmark we called Santa Claus: julemand.
Do you have an advent calendar in TV?
And do you maybe have a chocolate calendar?
Best wishes from Emma S, Emma W and Maria.

24th of December

Like this we are celebrating Christmas in Denmark:
We are celebrating Jesus’ birthday on the 24th of December. Most of us are going to church in the afternoon. Jesus was born in Betlehem. But Pontius Pilatus were hanging him on the cross later. Most of our churches are many hundred years old. A few of our churches is nearly 1.000 years old. We are dancing around the tree in the evening and then we get presents. Some of the presents are very big and expensive others are small and cheap. The small one is very cozy. The expensive presents can be: A mobile or a remote controlled car or upgrades to it and many other things. The smaller presents can be: a teddybear, socks, other clothes and very much more.
