When Christmas Eve in our house finally arrives, we are so excited to eat our favorite dinner of the year. It doesn’t get better than flæskesteg, andesteg, brunede kartofler, rødkål, and boiled potatoes, all topped with an amazing gravy!
If you ask anyone in our house, Danish Christmas dinner is the best meal of the year. We have grown up eating it for every single Christmas, yet somehow we never get tired of it.
Cabbage is a great vegetable and if you don’t like it, then it’s time to grow up! I’m joking, of course. You can choose not to eat or to eat whatever you want, but we are here to say that we love cabbage.
As we get further and further into December, I can feel the anticipation in the air. I am impatient for Christmas to come, as it is my favorite holiday, but it’s important to savor it.
If you’ve ever been so lucky to have a Dane in your life, you know that we love Christmas. Perhaps it’s because it gets so dark in Scandinavia in the wintertime and we need something to cheer us up. Whatever the reason, we have about a million traditions to get ourselves in the festive holiday mood.
Today is the day – December 1st. And you know what that means…Christmas! It is now officially the season of Christmas, and in Scandinavia, we take this very seriously.
