Christmas

The christmas in Denmark is a little bit different to the christmas in Germany. In Germany the christmas tree appears on the 24th of december. In Denmark we get our christmas already in the week before christmas. On the 23th of december we decorate the christmas tree.

On the 24th of december I usually go to the church in Germany and play the nativity play. In Denmark my family stay at home, while I am going to sing in the church with the choir.

In the evening we ate the typical danish christmas meal: Flaeskesteg, red cabbage, potatoes, red potatoes and brown souce. In germany we eat the typical christmas meal on the 25th of december. It is goose with red cabbage, potato dumplings and a souce.

After the christmas meal we ‚danced‘ around the christmas tree. It is more walking around the christmas tree and singing songs. In Germany my family is singing a lot of different christmas songs.

After singing we get our presents and open it with the family. In Denmark you open all your presents on the 24th. In Germany I open a lot of the presents on the 24th, but I have some left for the next days.

The next days are just watching a lot of movies and eating. But this year was also really relaxed, because my parents were ill. In Germany we are singing nearly every day til new year on the christmas tree. And the christmas days are a lot of family time.

We celebrated new year at frieds this year. We had a four-course menu. 6 o’clock we listened to the speech of the queen. Fireworks started already on the 24th. On new years it was more than the other days. In Germany we celebrate new year every year a little bit different.

If you have questions to this time of the year, just ask in the comments.
