Danish Christmas traditions

After dinner, the tree is it, all take hands and dance around the tree singing traditional Danish Christmas hymns and carols.
All Danish kids get one or more Advent calendars - or Christmas calendars as they are called in Denmark. The two big television channels each year produce a special new Christmas series divided into 24 episodes to keep the children's excitement in a high gear. The more fortunate children also get a gift calendar consisting of 24 small presents, one for each day before Christmas, individually bought and wrapped by their parents.
