Christmas in MermaidLand


Like most people in America and most other places, we decorate a christmastree for christmas, nothing weird about that. The weird part for you Yanks is, that instead of borring little lamps, we actually put real candles on the tree... We not only put them on, but we light them as well... This is a very pretty sight, and funny enough, no houses have burned down yet...

Another tradition note:
Like you Yanks have the picles traditon, we instead eat a ricepudding desert. In that desert an almond is hidden, whoever gets the almond first, gets an extra present - obviesly!!!

It's scary

I think I need to explain the danish concept "christmas lunch":
First of all, its mostly at night, so it has nothing to do with lunch, but the name seem to stuck... Second of all, the rules are extreemly simple. You eat and drink until you can't take it anymore and go home...
Now if you look at the picture, you see an example of two people who have focused more on the drinking than the eating part!!!

The map of proof

After looking at Ronald Reagans map of the world, I found out the strangemaps also had a map of "a part of Denmark" - no this is not all of it...but to be honest - its actually only Copenhagen you can't see...
The funny part of this, showes the parts of Germany that use to be part of Denmark, and here is the proof - WE SUCK IN WAR...

Friends sick of Lego's as well

I'm not the only person who felt the need to see London over new years. Because of my experience with too much Diet Coke, I thought it would be a good idea to bring a nurse, just in case!!!
Now, the mermaid and the nurse alone in London, is a good idea, if you think watching paint dry is funny, so we decided to bring a fashion policeman/guide/guy to keep us out of trouble!!!
December 30th all three of us will be there...
