Spending Cristmas in Copenhagen was amazing ! I celebrated with my collegues 2 times in December once with an entire company wide party, and then a smaller gathering for only interns, which I helped plan. They really got me into the holiday spirit !

a wholesome Christmas party soon turned into thisI got to celebrate an early Christmas with my lovely Palmar where he cooked me a fantastic meal of his specialty : mung dal.
These beautiful flowers flowers were on the table at our dinner, and my dear friend Olivia gave me the pug portrait !The next day, I met my amazing family at Copenhagen airport and prepared to spend Christmas in our fabulous rented apartment for 1 week.
For Christmas dinner I made: pork tenderloin with an apple chutney, roasted vegetables, cream cheese and chive mashed potatoes, and creamed spinach ! For dessert we had 2 traditional Danish desserts: ris ala mand (like rice pudding with chopped almonds in it with a warm cherry sauce on top) and a julekage (Christmas cake - made up of layers of philodough with filled with sugary filling and rasins)
pumpkin pancakes on Christmas morning where we were celebrating with my Danish friend Sandra, showing her how we would do a traditional American Christmas. We also had fruit salad and mimosas at breakfast :) followed by an afternoon of presents, skyping with family back in the United States, and watching A Muppet Christmas Carol
Justin really got into the giving holiday spirit
one night we went to Tivoli - an amusement park in downtown Copenhagen - where they had the whole park decorated for Christmas with a Russian theme.I had a fabulous New Years celebrating with Palmar, his cousin Edda, his brothers, and a bunch of his long time frineds. Palmar and Edda prepared an amazing meal for 16 people and we had a fabulous party in Edda's festivally decorated apartment !
