DENMARK'S CHRISTMAS
Our Christmas Day will not be quite so exciting as yours, because we have our presents and our tree the night before. There is not a single home in Denmark which will not have its tree on Christmas Eve. We never put presents on it—we shouldn’t think that was right—but just candles and coloured ornaments. On Christmas Eve all the candles are lit, and we stand round the tree and sing Christmas carols and hymns. After that we all give our presents. It is such fun. On Christmas Eve, too, we have our special Christmas dish. Now, don’t laugh—we call it porridge! It is made with rice, and all kinds of special things. It would take
too long to tell you, but it does taste very, very nice, and I am sure ve like it as much as you do your turkey.
