Concluding my many experiences this year was the opportunity to share a Danish Christmas with my friend Kamilla and her family - in Denmark. There were many questions asked on my behalf regarding the Christmas traditions of Denmark. Starting from the dancing round the tree singing carols, me having a mental block - the songs are the same, but sung in Danish (obviously), try recalling them in english at the same time... The food, lots of pork and fish. From pickled herring, salmon, shrimp, eggs, rye bread, red cabbage, beetroot, fish fillets, pork balls, and duck on christmas eve, concluding with Risengrod - rice with almonds. The focus of every celebration was family, plus presents and food - I'm not sure in that particular order, but a good time was had by all. Especially me!
