Traditional Danish Christmas

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. I am sorry I have not posted anything for awhile. School went into full swing after my trip to Russia. Well a lot has happened that I will fill you in over the next few days.
A few of us were invited to spend Christmas Eve with a Danish family. It was an eventful night with a meal of goose, pork, potatoes, and cabbage. Then there was a game of rolling a dice and you get to pick a present when you roll a six. You continue rolling until the timer goes off. The next game involved finding a whole almond in the dessert.

  2. I'm so glad you were able to go over to a Danish family house for Christmas so you weren't alone. It looks like it would have been a lot of fun & they were welcoming to you & the others you went with. I'm also glad I got to talk to you on the phone on Christmas day (my time, lol). It was such a treat to finally talk and catch up, and for over an hour! I miss you!

  3. When I looked at your first photo the first thing I wanted to yell out was "FIRE HAZZARD!" I feel the Fire Marshall and Judith have taught me well.
