Christmas Eve 2014, a fun, unique Christmas Eve.
Chris and I started out biking to the store only to find it closed. December 24 is a declared holiday here.
At 1pm we went to a short Christmas Eve Service, two wards combined. It was a very nice way to start the celebration with two musical numbers and two short talks. I was surprised at how many people attended.
We iced Christmas cookies and took some to the neighbor just below us, who gets to listen to the running feet. They were very nice and pleased that we came caroling as well.
Christmas Eve traditions in Denmark include watching a program consisting of a series of clips from various Disney movies. It was run in English, Danish and Swedish on various channels. It signals the beginning of, Christmas Eve celebrations all over the country.
A traditional turkey dinner with cranberry sauce made from dried cranberries... since the store was closed....
Reading and singing about the Nativity and then new pajamas and off to bed so Santa can come.
