Thanks for the letter you sent me. It’s so nice that we still talk together, though we live far apart. How was your Christmas? As you said: the house was full, so I bet you had a lot of fun, with all those people. But do you remember last time we where together? You asked me ‘bout the Danish Christmas, so I’ve got some thing to tell you now. In Denmark, Christmas starts with advent which means "coming", on the fourth Sunday before Christmas Eve - the first Sunday of advent, a wreath of pine twigs mounted with four candles and red ribbons is hung up and one candle is lit. The following Sunday the next candle is lit, one more each Sunday. This tradition is the first sign of Christmas coming closer there is also a lot of Christmas decorations in shops and malls. The first December is the first day of the Christmas month, and it is therefore the day to start opening your Christmas calendar. Every kid has one. Some are made of paper and filled with chocolate hidden behind 24 small windows, one piece each day until December 24. Others have small pictures behind the windows.
