My family and I took at trip to London in mid-December to look at Christmas lights on a grander scale than at home. This is from Selfridges.

This shot is from the Lucia celebration at my children’s school. On the 13’th they walk around with candles singing songs to the Italian saint Santa Lucia. For some reason she is very popular as part of the Christmas celebration on Scandinavia. Perhaps because she is associated with light at the darkest time of the year.

Tea lights in a Georg Jensen brass candle holder. This is what makes winter in Denmark bearable.

I know that if the diode lights with changing colors had been available when I was a kid I would have had as many christmas figures as my children have.

Two more hearts made all by hand. I love these traditions.

In Denmark we still take pride in making our own decorations for the tree. Already in ’82 when I went to college in the US, people looked at me as if I was an alien when I began braiding stars, making hearts and insisted that we used real, live candles on the trees at home.
This homemade heart is from a company get-together. It is traditional to fill such a heart with little cookies called ‘pebbernødder’.

Another shot of Magasin – the Christmas lit warehouse on Kongens Nytorv, Copenhagen.
I realized that unless I want to share Christmas inspired photos way into January, I need to post twice a day for a little while. Fall pictures in the spring is okay but not Christmas in January.

The large department store, Magasin, is illuminated like this every Christmas. Probably not very original but I love the way it looks.

Right at the beginning of December I had the chance to spend an hour trying to capture the Christmas lights in Copenhagen. I admit that they are fairly modest but I also think there is a beauty to the understatement.
