Time for sending Christmas greetings for friends and family. I hope I’ll find time and inspiration for writing before Christmas. In 2010 I was busy with a showel and lots of snow.

Sct Lucia
Actually it was yesterday. The young girls marching with candlelight on their head and in the hands is a Swedish tradition. It is to emphasize that the light will soon be coming back.
The picture was shot from tv with my iPhone.

All Danish children knows about the fact, that Santa Claus (Julemanden) lives in Greenland. The main public Danish television channel DR1 is transmitting a series in 24 chapters these days about a team ( the nisse gang ) searching for Julemanden in Greenland. Maybe you can spot him here. My eyes are not that good.
A little search with Google Earth indicates that this glacier is located 63°49″N, 41°40″W.

Yesterday we were invited for Glögg and ‘æbleskiver’. For safety reasons we took the bus and left the car at home. We were surprised when entering the bus for our home drive. Just look at the decorations. We’ve never seen anything like it. Merry Christmas and thanks to the driver on route ‘500S’.

Father Christmas – or Santa Claus, is on the door. “Julemanden” is a popular figure here.

The days are short and the birds are having a hard time searching for food.

No inspiration – no photo.
I have an idea. Why don’t you go out and shoot a couple of photos yourself. Or find some materials and paint a nice picture. If you use the pc, you dont have to clean the brushes…

Christmas is time for treets. My wife gave me candy today. 🙂
In the candy is a small picture. It is the city arms of Copenhagen.
The tower in the middle is a symbol for Absalons castle. He was the founder of the city. The two small towers are the towers from the city wall. The waves symbolises Øresund – the Sound between Denmark and Sweden.

Looking forward to this years Christmas concert.
The choir “Sokkelund Sangkor” will perform J.S.Bach: The Christmas Oratorio. I can hardly wait until the 17th.
The concert will be held in this beautiful church, Garnisons Church in the center of Copenhagen.

Soon it’ll be time for buying a tree for Christmas. Shall it be tall and reach for the ceiling – or small so there is plenty of space for dancing around it? Difficult questions…
No, the snow has not reached Copenhagen yet. This photo is from 2010 where we had snow from November.

I couldn’t resist posting this face.

When I was a child my mother learnt us a tradition. We had four candles and lit the first on the first sunday of advent, two on the next and so on.
My wife buys large candles, so we have all four of them lit all four sundays up to Christmas. As you see, they will probably not burn down before Christmas.

Just another wonderful day. The 3 girls with their family for an afternoon with relaxed life on the coach. Maj and Tone made these decorations for their rooms. Frida just toured the house smiling. Now she is tired Too tired…

I suppose you have heard of “kravlenisser”. Nisser that are everywhere. I caught a couple in the cellar trying to hide when I unexpectedly entered the room.
The painting was bought on the scouts’ flea market for almost nothing. The houses are from Gudhjem, Bornholm. Denmarks easternmost island. (except from some small rocks off its coast).
