Christmas Eve
Christmas
Eve is something most Danes look forward too.
In the morning the whole family bakes and cooks such things as pepper
cookies, a sweet biscuit flavoured with
vanilla and cinnamon. In the afternoon we watch “Disney’s Christmas Show” while
we eat our cookies and drink hot beverages.
The
Christmas tree is in the living room with small Christmas hearts and a star on
the top of the tree. The star symbolizes the star that lead the three wise men
to visit baby Jesus. During the day we go to the local church to celebrate Jesus
Christ’s birth.
The
family comes over to the house, to celebrate the evening together. We “hygger”
which means that we have a good time together, and we drink Christmas punch,
and eat delicious food. We eat pork and duck with candied potatoes and red
cabbage and normal potatoes with brown sauce. After the meal we dance around the Christmas tree
and sing Christmas songs. After that we open the Christmas presents that we
bought for each other, and enjoy each other’s company. Then at the end of the
evening we just sit and talk and listen to some music and enjoy being together
as a family.
