Hi Sisters,
It is December 1st and time to bring out the calendar candle, advent wreath and all those other great Christmas traditions. Here is a link to the 2022 Royal Danish advent calendar to help you keep track and enjoy the season. https://www.kongehuset.dk/en/other/advent-calendar-2022/christmas-at-the-royal-house/ https://www.kongehuset.dk/en/ As long as I can remember Danish TV has produced "Julekalenderen" - the Christmas calendar, a new episode every night, December 1-24 for families to watch together. Here is the link to the first episode, it is in Danish, but it is pretty cool, very traditional, and I think you can follow along even if you don't speak Danish. Turn on the text (lower right on the screen) and you can pick up words you know and maybe even learn some you don't know. 🙂 This year's Julekalender is called, "Julehjertets Hemmelighed" (the Christmas Heart's Secret) and the first episode, "Karen kan se nisser" (Karen can see nisser). Spoiler alert - stop here if you want to just see for yourself. The story line in short: the Christmas heart is stolen and will interfere with the magic of Christmas descending on the town; Karen - the young girl - lives on a big farm, a "Herregård" where her entire family is employed, except for her brother who apparently got fired - seems he has attitude issues. Karen will be 13 soon and the family has taken her out of school so she can apply for a job as a maid on the big farm. However, she does not get the job initially "not a good fit" she is told, and her parents plan to send her to a neighboring farm to work - even though they were hoping to keep the family together. Not cool, and she manages to get hired after all for a probational period. You can see how for yourself. Her brother is not happy she was taken out of school to be a maid, he sees great potential in her. The fact that she is turning 13 is a problem, because at 13 she will be an "adult" and not be able to see nisser - although she doesn't know that yet. The farm nisse is concerned. https://www.dr.dk/drtv/se/julehjertets-hemmelighed_-karen-kan-se-nisser_352530 Enjoy! Nissen in Bailey |
