It wouldn’t be Christmas without…
Christmas gift exchange on the bathing bridge with my Danish Besties, Vibeke and Helene!
Another one of our favourite traditions!
We met before sunrise for our skinnydip in the cold sea (6c/42f).
Was blowing a gale!
Then we danced around the tiny Christmas tree, holding hands and singing (as is the tradition here in Denmark).
Not much space but a lot of packages, woo hoo!
We sipped Bols Advocaat from my Edinburgh Crystal sherry glasses, cups of hot Christmas tea and nibbled on medjool dates and clementines while we exchanged and opened our gifts…
This year we did homemade and budget presents.
I sewed teabag wallets for all my friends this year.
A fun, low-cost project (I bought a small piece of Liberty fabric but all the other materials were things I had on hand) and great gift for those who like to travel with their own teabags!
Do you have any special traditions around the Christmas tree?
Have a wonderful weekend!
