It's only the end of October and already the Christmas Season is already upon us here in Denmark. My European friends weren't kidding when they said that stores start stocking up on Christmas decorations even before the winter season has begun.
The other day on the bus, a woman sitting diagonally from me had a brand new roll of Christmas wrapping paper in one of her shopping bags. Yesterday, as I was in the check-out line at the grocery store, a huge box of chocolate Advent calendars was staring right at me.
Although it's starting to get cold, I don't feel like it should be the end of December yet. I mean, honestly, do they just skip the month of November altogether? (I know they don't observe it, but I love Thanksgiving so I can't let that happen!)
I'll know the Danes are really serious about Christmas in autumn when I start hearing holiday music in public places (not that I'll understand the lyrics, since I'm sure they're in Danish). Hey Mom, Christmas music before Black Friday...I bet you'd love that ;)
Do they have the Danish equivalent of KOIT? Soft hits and Christmas music right after Thanksgiving back home but maybe in Denmark it starts November 1!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I have yet to hear any Danish radio...but I bet they've already started playing Christmas tunes!
