IN DENMARK WE DANCE AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE?

Well that went by way too fast. but for the last time this year. MERRY CHRISTMAS! :D 

oh also, I'm sorry I told you that it would be updated on Sundays and then today is Monday, but it is the holidays and I cannot keep up with the days anymore! Well I hope you all had a very merry Christmas or happy something else, you know all the holidays! :D

So Christmas eve we went down south. Woop.
My best friend got me this sweater and the mustache socks and I am in love. 


Disneys christmas show is a must and also its a thing that really makes it feel like christmas in my family.

festive toilet paper.


Down here everyone has to wear a santa hat or a christmas hat of some sort so I wore this. and a paper crown! 


 Down here 'soup' is tradition, but I dont actually think that is typical danish Christmas food? Hm. 
So the food.. I mean I would LOOOVE to explain to you what we eat, but besides the fact that we eat duck we eat a lot of different danish things! For dessert is what we call "Ris a La mande" its rice pudding, but cold mixed with whipped cream and chopped almonds. The tradition is then that you have to find the one almond that is whole and the one who gets it, gets a present!




Okaaaaay so for those of you who dont know or forgot when dinner is over and you dont feel that heavy anymore its time to exercise and move a little. Because here we dance around the Christmas tree. Okay 'dance' is a little much, we walk in a line after one another and we sing danish Christmas carols. 


My all time favorite thing and it has been my favorite thing since I was very young, is the last song. It is literally 3-4 lines and its kind of fast and you sing the same 3-4 lines over and over again while you run around the entire house in a line holding hands with the person in front of you and behind you. 
Also when I say 'the whole house' I mean the 'whole' house every little tiny room in the house. This is a summer house by the beach so it isn't that big. 

The 25th we ate a biiiiiig Christmas lunch which is very common here and we played a game that is also traditional. When you start this game there is not timer on and every player brought at last one present with something stupid in it, then you take turns rolling a dice and every time you get a 6 you grab a present from the middle of the table. Then when all presents are gone someone sets a timer without looking and now you steal presents from each other until the timer goes off. 

I know they do this in Germany, well at least I'm pretty sure they do. Well we do it here and its pretty fun. haha 

We drove home the 25th as well and then the 26th we (My parents and I) went out for a walk in the woods because it FINALLY STARTED SNOWING YAAY! 



































Then we went home and watched something that I forgot haha. 

The 27th we went to my dads parents house for another Christmas lunch thing and we stayed for dinner as well and it was lovely as always. 

The 28th.. which was yesterday we watched kick ass I think, yup we did and then later on The Sound Of Music which is just Christmas tradition. 

This morning Karina came over to borrow my moms Kitchen aid cause she's baking traditional New Years cake thing for the 31st and needed to borrow it. Havent seen her in ages so that was nice haha. 

Tomorrow Justine is coming to visit and spend New Years here and i'm sooooo excited :D  
I hope you all had an AMAZING Christmas and you will have a great New Years Eve! 

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND MAY YOUR 2015 BE AN AWESOME YEAR!

Where is the snow?

Sooo... 

Monday, I went to school with Gabi had two classes at school and then took a bus, I got off before Gabi cause she had to go meet a volunteer and I had to go to the movies with school to go watch the Hobbit.... the last one whatever its called... it was uhm interesting, the minutes I didnt spend studying the inside of my eyelids haha, oopth. 

Then I went and met up with my mom coffee! 

Tuesday and had boring "its the last week before break classes" in the middle of the day we had design which was pretty fun, we went not far from the school with a street with design shops, graphic design and just like art in general it was so cool and we had to walk around and take pictures of graphic design etc it was soooo much fun to be honest: 
'No printed material with out graphic engineers' I guess thats how you'd translate it 





















then before going back to school to have the last physics class of 2014 we went and got coffee, a place where you can use the wifi the the password "goodcoffee" 


Wednesday and Thursday were finals days! And that meant.. up early. 



Which wasnt so bad with views like that haha 

Then friday we had last day of school which was basically eating breakfast and having an assembly. Hoffmann got me this cause shes the coolest person ever: 


And we brought the rest of the "breakfast" with us down to the assembly" 


Where all the teachers suddenly came in and did "Lucia" which I dont think is a thing people have anywhere else than here, but usually its on December 13th and (this is embarrassing ) but I dont remember why we do it. 





Then we all said out goodbyes and merry christmas and of course happy new year! Nick drove me home which was insanely nice of him (if you're reading this thank you) 


Saturday and I went back to Nicks to hang out with him, Helena and Alek since we hadnt in a long time. Nick had jelly beans...and Yes i ate too many. oh and Helena got me the coolest t-shirt that I of course did not take a picture of -_- and is not in the laundry cause I wanna wear it ASAP! 



Then we watched Bad Santa which is always good 

souuuu cute
At around 4pm he dropped us all off at Tivoli the amusement park, Alek and Helena went in by themselves while I waited for my parents. Usually they have the nicest things in there, but yesterday it was just raining and cold and the had cut the thing they usually have, but yeah it was okay [:






Today we saw a movie and played the danish version of cards against humanity Karina was here and of course my parents! It was a lot of fun! haha also today is the 22nd so I wanna say a BIIIIIG Happy birthday to Tiny One! <3
