Merry Christmas

The day's pic is of one of the 6 Happy Xmas Trees on the square Kongens Nytorv in Copenhagen. It's made artist Mikael Hauberg and it's called Copenhagen Towers Tree, which is appropriate as it shows the Copenhagen skyline.

In Denmark we celebrate Christmas on the eve of the 24th of December, so I want to wish you all a very merry Christmas, while I prepare for the feast of roasted duck with caramelized potates, boiled red cabbage and all the rest of the accessories, ending with ris a'lamande and hot cherry sauce.

Star Tree

Some of the Happy Xmas Trees have been moved inside like this one in the Field's shopping mall, where it not only was put a bit away, but on a flight of stairs that see very little use. It was made by Lo Maalue Lynghøj and is called Star Tree.

Where have you been hiding?

Of the around 40 Happy Xmas Trees this one eluded me for weeks, and then suddenly there it was, just outside Copenhagen Central Station and next to the Freedom Monument (Frihedsstøtten). The Xmas Tree was made by Jens Galschiøt and it was supposed to be at the Copenhagen Airport. I have no clue as to why they moved it here, but maybe it would scare the passengers too much.
