December IV

Christmas time is Messiah time.
This evening we heard a beautiful performance of G. F. Händels great work.
The conductor, Morten Schuldt-Jensen lifted the music to its maximum potential.
BRAVO! – BRAVO! – BRAVO!

The  Leipziger Chamber Orchestra and The Sokkelund Choir are gathering before the event.
I took no photos during the performance.

Juletid er Messiastid.
Her til aften hørte vi en storslået opførsel af Händels mesterværk.
Dirigenten Morten Schuldt-Jensen løftede værket til sit maksimale potentiale.
BRAVO!  BRAVO!  BRAVO!

December II

Dette er strømpen som først jeg, derefter vores børn, skyndte os op for at tømme hver morgen i december. Hvad mon julemanden havde puttet i den i nattens løb?
Jeg husker tydeligt, at min mor sad og broderede motivet.
Nu tjener den som holder for de julekort, vi modtager.

This is the stocking I, and later our children Jesper and Line, rushed out of bed for every morning in December. What had Santa put into it during the night?
I remember clearly my mother when she made it. But not precisely when.
Now it is used for our Christmas cards.

December I

En juletradition.
Da jeg var barn, havde jeg en julestrømpe. Deri lå en lille ting hver morgen fra 1. til 24. december.
Nu er det vores mødre, der får en lille pakke hver dag indtil jul.

A Christmas tradition.
When I was a child I had a ‘Christmas stocking’. Every morning in December from the 1st. to the 24th. there was a small thing in it.
Now instead we prepare 24 small packages for our mothers.
