Little Christmas pixie sweeping and his wife in a pillar box hat. My youngest boy made these two cuties last year when he was 6 years old.
When Decembers hits we clear out a shelf and set up our
Christmas pixie village. It is not really linked to the Christmas Story as such,
but it is fun and very creative. My boys and I have made most of the things out
of recycled materials such as milk cartons, bottles, buttons etc. and of course artificial snow. When we
unpacked it all from last year, some of the pieces had fallen apart or were
squashed. That is not a bad thing; it only means we need to create some new
Christmas items for our village. Here is what we have and let’s see what the
boys come up with in the coming weeks?

| We put artificial candles into the houses so they light up at night. |
Skiing snow man is the latest addition.
Another Danish tradition that we love is the Calendar Candle
(kalenderlys). It is a countdown to Christmas Eve and we light it every night,
as we watch an episode of the Danish Christmas Calendar for Children, all sent
to us from the children’s Grandmother – Thank you Herdis!
