I have realized that when studying abroad you start missing the little things about being home. Especially so around Christmas. Therefore, my fellow Danes and I initiated a few activities for our friends in Chapel Hill in order to feel a little closer to home.
Making Danish christmas hearts (used for decoration & hanging on the christmas tree) is no easy task
Jasmine managed to get it right!
Singing Danish X-mas carols
My American friends participated in the gingerbread-heart decoration competition
I baked "Pebernødder": A traditional Danish cookie
... and coconut-reindeer
Glogg: A mixture of warm red wine, spices, almonds and raisins. Normally we would buy the ready-made version, but since this Scandinavian has not yet made it to Chapel Hill, we had to make it from scratch.
