DANSK CHRISTMAS=THE BEST

Christmas in Danmark is seriously the way Christmas is supposed to be celebrated. The only thing missing was the snow but we got frost yuuusss! which makes everything white so kinda like a white Christmas haha.
The major Christmas preparations started on the 23rd when we went and got our real live xmas tree!! It was standing in a forest and everything. We picked it out and then sawed it down. I got to saw a bit yay then we dragged it back to the car and brought it home and decorated it. Everyone was home for Christmas so the house was kind of full with 6 people. My older host sisters came home from KBH so we were all together which was nice.
The next day 24th aka Christmas Eve which is the major Christmas celebration day. Woke up and helped cook lunch the first meal of the day, we had EEL..it was um "interesting" then got changed into a DRESS woah and walked to church. We sung songs and he was talking about Christmas and other things. It is a little church and a lot of people were there. Came home and watch Disney Christmas Special with Anne, Mia and Rasmus (my sisters and bro) its tradition for them to watch it. Then we started cooking. The food was mega intense!! Seriously woah. Started eating at 8 and we had
-Duck
-Potatoes
-Brown Potatoes
- Salad
-Potato Chips
-Red Cabbage

and then for dessert this think kind of like rice pudding but much nicer and it has almonds in it and if you get a whole almond you get a prize. We had 3 almonds yay but Rasmus got 2 of them :( but I got a prize because I was searching so hard out haha like sifting through the whole bowel to try and find it. After eating we started getting the presents under the tree then we lit the candles!! on the tree..yes real candles on the tree! THEN THE BEST PART we went around the tree and danced and sung around it in danish and then we sung Last Christmas cause its the best Christmas song. Then we sat down and opened presents.

Next day aka Christmas Day we went to my host aunts and ate SO MUCH FOOD I’m talking 15 different courses sheesh, Christmas really is the time of eating. It was nice just hanging out with the family. Even though it didn’t know it was still amazing and just awesome hanging out with everyone.

I’m coming back in 2010 for Christmas!! well if I have enough money
