Christmas in Denmark

Hello everyone - just like in many other schools in Denmark we celebrate Christmas in school with a theatrical performence. Every year in our school it is the 6. class who are responsible for the play, and most of the years they write the manuscript themselves. After Christmas the film should be available on our homepage www.gvs.kk.dk.
In the pictures (slideshow on blog) you see the gnomes ( In Denmark we call them 'nisser' ) who have come to our school and it occurs that classes returning from brake find a bag of candy or cakes in their class room left there by the gnomes.
In all the classes they light the calender candles every morning, burning a number every day counting down to the 24. On the 12. (actually it is the 13. of Decemberbut school is closed that day ) we have taken over the Swedish tradition of celebrating Santa Lucia - and the girls from the 2. + 3. +4. clas walk in procession singing about Lucia.
It is a busy period but we think very much of you all and we look forward to meet in Finland.
Love Filiz, Dhurata, Elsebet and Ole.
