In Denmark we have a long standing tradition about late November and December weekends. What we do is meeting with our friends, work colleagues, school bodies, neighbours etc., and we eat a big dinner (not all together but over the mentioned weekends). The traditional dinner starts with fish and move over to meat. Everything is served on rue bread, which is called an open sandwich - a Danish speciality. With every course (and there are a lot) we drink snaps.
Basically everybody gets really, really drunk and fool around. Many Danes have been unfaithful during one of these dinners (I haven’t of course 😉, and it’s a normal to hear people comment that it happened during a Christmas dinner, so it doesn’t matter.
If you come to Denmark during these weekends be prepared to see funny and sometimes freaky things when in town.
Do other countries have the same tradition?
