Welcome to Tivoli at Christmas time, a glorious Christmas inspired Danish theme park filled with wonder at every turn. Complete with mounds of snow, a house of nisser, and endless amounts of Christmas Cheer. If you are ever in Copenhagen at Christmas time, go to Tivoli to absorb this essense of Christmas that is spread throughout the park. It is truly magical! Ole, Birgitte and I went to Tivoli Monday the 29th, the day after getting back from London in order to see Crazy Christmas Cabaret. But along the way we absorbed a good amount of Christmas cheer!
A house full of Nisser! Living in Denmark around Christmastime there is no way that one can avoid an encounter with Nisser. These friendly pranksters are extremely prominent during the Danish Christmas season. In order to keep them well behaved, or for children to receive a present from Nisser, a bowl of the Christmas pudding, similar to our rice pudding, must be left out for the Nisser. These little guys are one of my favorite things about the Christmas season in Denmark! It is a guarantee that I will be bringing some Nisser back to my family for Christmas!
A special treasure of Tivoli at Christmastime is the annual Crazy Christmas Cabaret, a comedy show put on for over 25 years in english at the heart of Tivoli. I think I was almost constantly laughing throughout the whole show. I am so glad that my host parents ensured that I would not miss out on this Christmas time tradition!
Vi Ses!
