1. New Year - Denmark
New year is in the evening here in Denmark.
The evening normally start with the Queen’s new
years speak.
You are together with your friends and family.
The Queen normally talks about what has
happened in this year and what is going to
happen
in the next year. She also talk about if something
good and big have happen but also if something
bad have happen. She always end her speak
with “Gud bevare Danmark” - which mean
god bless Denmark.
For dinner we always eat first course, main
course and dessert. Before we go home from
where we are, we always eat something in the
night - not dessert, but a little snack. There is not
some special food we eat on new year. But
some family have traditions for eating the same
food every year. But we always get some very
delicious food. On new year adults always drink
a lot. They drink for example: Wine, small drinks,
champagne, beers and a lot more. On New
Years Eve the table is always beautifully decorated.
On New Year everyone have some fireworks
and the sky is light up with fireworks. At 12
o’clock the sky is filled with fireworks. Everyone
is shooting fireworks and big rackets up in the
sky. There is all from big rackets and fireworks to
small child rackets and fireworks. The childrens
firework are not dangerous. On new years
evening many children walk around to houses
and make fun but its always for fun.
