It’s been a busy week, full of festive fun! First up was the Christmas Bazaar at the Swedish Church of Copenhagen on Saturday afternoon.
Erika, Angela and I had to queue to get in…it’s very popular!
Plenty of parking space for prams!
We tried our luck at the various tombolas. But, alas, no Dala horse for us this year…
It was a freezing day (after a couple of days of snow), so we warmed up with a glass of Swedish gløgg and some pepparkakor.
Yum!
Skål!
Ships hanging from the ceiling are a common sight in Danish and Swedish churches…
On Sunday morning Angela and I met up and worked out at the gym. It was a cardio class = red faces, ha ha!
Then we visited a local Christmas craft market, housed in a very pretty old farm building.
Angela bought some homemade cream toffees, jam and Christmas cookies. I love looking at the paper decorations.
There were lots of hand-knitted and crocheted items for sale.
No Danish Christmas would be complete without candles!
So pretty in the snow!
Then later this week I attended a festive wreath-making workshop organised by my international ladies club.
Always fun to play with fresh foliage and candles…
Here’s my advent wreath, beginning to take shape.
Have you been creative this week or visited any markets?
And last, but not least, a quick but very hygge lunch in the city with Sue, Marianne and Dawn on one of the coldest, dreich days of the year!
Sue had invited us to an Icelandic café called Gudrun’s Goodies in the Pisserenden area (Latin Quarter).
We all had ot lamb soup with bread and butter – delicious!
Hope you’re having a wonderful week, wherever you are in the world!

Add Yours →What a great week you’ve had Diane ❤️. The weather looks very cold ❄️ but you all look very rugged up and are enjoying yourselves.
Thanks for sharing I just love all the Christmas traditions that you have in Scandanvia🎄
What fun memories you are creating 🥰🥂 🎄
This all looks very beautiful. We will attend the Christmas market at our church on Sunday. I plan to shop some Christmas cards and spices to support them.
What an amazing week you have had
What a lovey week you’ve had, Diane. There are food stalls and a band in our village this afternoon where the lights will be switched on, we will wrap up warm and walk down there soon.
I’d like to make a confession – I didn’t check my Christmas lights were working when you told us to (I think about 6 weeks ago!) so my husband has had to brave the garden centre on the busiest of days. Let this be a lesson to me!
What wonderful photos I love to see all the traditions you have over in Denmark at Christmas, it all looks lovely and the shop hanging in the church is beautiful. ! Thanks for sharing.
Wish I was there to join in the fun!
Very interesting places, esp. hanging ships.😊
Thank you for sharing pictures. Yes, they can make feel as if I am there.
Merry Christmas!
