Danish Christmas Traditions
Published by Todays Dallas Woman Christmas in Denmark is a joyous and special occasion filled with old Viking traditions and Christian customs. ...
Danes celebrate Christmas on December 24th. Preparations begin in Danish households several weeks before Christmas Eve with the baking of cookies, breads and candies, the making of gifts and the visiting of friends and family. Since it is the most important Danish holiday, every Dane is well versed in the age old customs of the traditional Danish Christmas.
According to Ghita Nørby, the grand dame of Danish theater, television and film, and featured in the digital stories series from Denmark by the Danish tourist board, the first Sunday of Advent is the beginning of Christmas. On each Sunday leading up to Christmas Eve, a candle is lit on a special Advent wreath that contains four candles, one for each Sunday leading up to Christmas Eve, she said.
In addition, Nørby said that a special Christmas candle is also lit each night at dinner. The candle is a Christmas calendar marked with each date of the days until Christmas.
