Christmas Comes Early

This is Strøget, the main shopping street in Copenhagen that is strictly pedestrian. It is already decorated with lights and hearts - the Christmas symbol in Denmark.

This is a typical Christmas snack: Glögg, a mulled wine with sliced almonds and raisins, served with Æbleskiver, an apple fritter. So healthy!


Tonight we went to Mikkel's father's place for split pea soup and rye bread along with 19 other family members. I can't believe it's not even December yet.

... Christmas in DK is different... the æbleskiver is one thing but there is also that hygge thing. If you can define that one you will have solved a huge mystery.
How to explain hygge to someone not Danish...
