Many people attend an early Christmas mass in church before dinner. This is not just because of religious beliefs; many enjoy sharing in the tradition of coming together in church and singing Christmas carols, as people have done for centuries.
The Christmas tree is decorated with a silver star on the top and small glass balloons, national flags and given the final touch of white fairy hairs or scattered strips of tin foil, reflecting the light from the glowing candles.
Dinner is served quite early. Most people eat roast duck on Christmas Eve, but roast goose or pork with crackling is also common. The duck or goose is stuffed with apples and prunes and served with boiled and sweet potatoes, red cabbage, beets and cranberry jam. The dessert consists of ‘ris à l’amande’ (rice pudding with whipped cream, vanilla and almonds) with a hot cherry sauce. A peeled almond is hidden in the dessert bowl and the lucky finder of the almond gets a present. Most of the time it's a marzipan pig that also has to be eaten. Uhhh - sometimes the winner has eaten so much that they are having a hard time moving afterwards
The lighting of the Christmas tree is considered one of the highlights of Christmas Eve and it happens after dinner. Many feel that real candles, as opposed to electric lights, are the only way to ignite a proper Christmas atmosphere. After dinner, everyone joins hands and dances around the tree. Traditional Danish Christmas hymns and carols are sung.
Then it’s finally time for the unwrapping of gifts. Normally, one of the children is chosen to select the wrapped presents under the tree and hand them over one at the time, so everyone can watch each present being unwrapped. After the last present, it is time for fresh fruit, cookies, candy and coffee. On Christmas Day, children get up early to enjoy their presents from the night before
