Christmas Traditions Around the World : Danish Christmas Traditions

[ame6603]

These are Danish Christmas *Traditions*, not necessarily what's practiced today. It's not titled, "A Typical Danish Christmas".

[monijulle]

The bitch don't know what she's talking about!!!

[ThorEriksenDahl]

you do not know what you're talking about.

Danish Christmas is not as you think.

[LittleCrazyAmy]

she forgot some of us also watch Christmas calendars every night from the first december to christmas eve, and a traditional meal one X-mas eve is Roast Pork also called "Flæskesteg", and that we dance around the Christmas tree while singing carols, and the children gets one present the night before X-mas eve and so much more...

Though I'm sure the intention is good, this is not at all a representation of Jul i mit hjemland!

maybe make an updated version from grundtvigs denmark to modern denmark.

the whole family have fun decorating the tree, and the porridge is for dessert and is not porride its made of rice cooking in milk, with butter and cinamon on top

[pyr0ph1L]

LOL this is not fitting at all!

The parents do not hide the tree and they are not the only ones allowed to decorate it - at all! And I have never heard of strawberry juice here in Denmark haha.. I think she read a book on how christmas was celebrated in Denmark in 1800 not in the 2000..

[dxLinea]

LMAO "And the children drinks sweet strawberry juice" We don't even have that i Denmark? This is just stupid.

[ilovecakexD]

wow.. hun har da godt nok skudt meget forbi XD

Think she have read a book from around 1890. :-)

[Pingvinmus]

Not exactely true... And she forgets the most important part: the presents are openen on december 24th in the evening after dinner! At midnight, chrismas is over :o(

[aduecey]

What she is describing are old school Dane xmas traditions. It's doubtful many familys still adhere to the parents hiding the tree. She forgot the paper hearts and cones the most famous of trad. ornaments.

The nisse was a pagan spirit thought to live in the attic of all Dane homes. Pleasing him with a bowl of porage was thought to bring good luck as he influenced the fortunes of the household through out the year.

[FarligLama]

WTF?!

She has no idea what she is talking about.

[kaUsiki]

danish christmas is nothing like that ... noob

[Thrym865]

Danish yule traditions were pagan rituals to please the gods. It was probably the most important ritual of all. This would force the christian church to adopt it into the celebration of christmas and thereby making the ritual an act of christianity. Much like all the churches that were build on top of the ancient places of pagan worship.

[J0NNASE]

That also sounds a bit like the Swedish christmas, can i just ask U guys from Denmark one thing?

In Sweden we have this really big traditon that we watch Kalle Anka (Donald Duck) at 15.00 evry christmas eve, do you do that to or is it just us sweds?

[olebentlarsen]

[maddih90]

She dont no what she's talking about

[evatrautner]

it is not true, what she is saying is a lay. my na

[evatrautner]

this is not true. what she is saying is a lay. or maybe she just dosent know what shes talking about. its not the parents who do the tree. its the family together! oh gosh.

[chri458n]

/kællingen aner ikke hvad hun snakker om

[chri458n]

the thing about the tree is only half the truth, we used to do that long time ago, but not any longer. And not every dicorations are made of wood and straw's.

[sisse93sk]

the thing about the christmas tree is not true often the kids help the parents decorate the christmas tree, and we don´t party when it´s advent.

[LazyStory]

Maybe it sounds fun but it is not widespread Christmas tradition in Denmark.

Please do some research.
