Secret santa arrived today from California! I don't know who send it, so I don't know who to thank. Anyway, thank you secret santa! The box was a bit damaged and said "fragile" all over it, so I was a bit concerned!
Carton! Just what I wanted! And yes: that's a pickle ornament. And some dog ornaments. And a real dog!
And another box with a card. Not from Secret santa though. I guess it's where the present was made.
It's a glass mug with my username! Neat! And the date 25th december. Funny thing is that in Denmark, we open presents on the 24th in the evening. We do absolutely nothing on the 25th except regret the amount of food we ate the evening before. But it dosen't matter at all! It just reminds me where the present came from.
Anyway. I thought it was almost impossible to se the ingraving in an empty glass. So i fixed it with Julebryg = Christmas Brew. It's not because i waaanted a beer - it's just for the sake of all of you!
Neat! The glass contains over 1 danish standard beer which is 33cl. In american measures that's like.. I don't know. I had to open two beers - oh oh. What a shame.
The rest of beer number two went with the dinner. Knuckle of pork in beer!
Cheers pig!
9 years old dog tax!

It makes me sad to know that I'll die without tasting all the great beer around the world. But damn it I'll do my best
jgorn
Oh I love Tuborg Julebrygd! And I know a guy in Denmark named Morten. Is it you?
AdmiralMorten
I don't know ???? i'm fulfilling the criteria
jgorn
He lives in CPH so perhaps not. But it would have been really cool if you did

That's awesome. My family does the pickle ornament tradition, too. We used to live in Germany many years ago, and it has stuck with us.

Stavemåder på engelsk, de fleste kender iøvrigt ikke forskellen på "ae" og "æ".

Do t know what this translates to but I am interested in the pronunciation
Arthontigerik
Thank you for the lesson!
aarhusianer
It is pronounced something like "glae-de-lee jool".
AdmiralMorten
It says merry christmas ;)
aarhusianer
Men det er ikke sådan man udtaler det :)
tablecat
This is how I pronounce it: https://vocaroo.com/i/s034wvfGosqz
JennyHill
And the pronunciation is something like 'gleth-lee yool'

Greetings from North Germany ???????? ???? I wondered about that date too, because we do nothing there too ????
AdmiralMorten
Frohe weihnachten! It's not just us then.

OP lies! We do stuff on the 25th! We... Eat the leftover ris a la mande (sweetened rice pudding). And... That's about it.
AdmiralMorten
And regret it. Again...
piggled
I want to regret eating this too. Recipe? :D

Omg so did I!

Op says he's only drinking beer for our sakes
AdmiralMorten
Shh..
LupusIgnis
Well, it IS a Tuborg Julebryg, so *insert Albani/Tuborg feud here*
AdmiralMorten
It's still not a Harboe though!

Gotta love how we put our flag on the tree in Denmark! Glædelig Jul
Nonottoday7
is this a thing? LOL my Friend is Danish, and I honestly thought they didn't have ornaments, so they used the flag as decorations. TMUK
thetof91
Nah. We just like our flag. Dannebrog everywhere! Also it is red and white, so fit Christmas good.
thetof91
We also use our flag on birthdays, like on everything.
AdmiralMorten
I made it myself! God jul!
butcha
Har du selv lavet træet? Ikke dårligt!
AdmiralMorten
Er man snedker, eller er man ikke snedker!
Niggulon
Det virker lidt som om man er snedker.

Ah så många av er!!! God jul, granne!

It is also common in Finland, and Sweden as well I think. Don't know about those unruly fishermen in their fjords...

If someone would have done that in Sweden they'd be Branded as nationalists in a second.
MValentin
Are Christmas trees the only thing Americans do not cover with flags?
BenSwol0
Pretty much...I think it would gaudy because our flag is a bit bright and busy.
sunyudai
As always, blame the nazis for this tradition: https://satwcomic.com/flag-day-every-day
AdmiralMorten
Hah! Hadn't seen that before!
MValentin
Haha, I love SATW! And yes, we have gone through many hoops to get our way.
LurkerOfDarkness
May not be the biggest nation, maybe they think they won, but in the end we will get it our way.
sunyudai
Do you have a sharable recipe for that beer-basted pork knuckle? Not a part of the pig we commonly eat around here, and I'm curious.
AdmiralMorten
Cut the skin, salt it. 30 m at 180°C. One beer (not too dark) and whatever you got. I only had garlic and onions. 2,5 h extra. Add whather
AdmiralMorten
So the beer don't dry out. Done
AdmiralMorten
And bay leaves! Put it in the cuts in the skin
sunyudai
Ah, thank you. I will try that out soon. Assuming "whather" is a typo for water?
AdmiralMorten
Yes
OmniCoRp
Jeg er nød til at spørge. Hvad har det kostet dig at være med? Jeg ville gerne, men var bange for det kunne blive dyrt i fragt
AdmiralMorten
Cirka 150 kr på gave og 100 i fragt. Har sendt som brev til usa. Der kan man sende 2 kg med post nord. Men ingen forsikring. Håber det går!
OmniCoRp
Det var da ikke så galt. Jeg var bare så bange for fragten ville blive vildt dyr med told og sådan noget skidt. Næste år må jeg prøve
AdmiralMorten
Jeg har ikke overvejet told :O
PresidentObamaOfficial
IANAL men told er kun på import til danmark, så hvis du har sendt noget til udlandet så er det ikke noget at bekymre sig om
OmniCoRp
Nu tænkte jeg også mere på om modtageren skulle betale told. Når vi sender pakker til udlandet på arbejde, så skal modtageren betale told
AdmiralMorten
Gaven er også kommet frem her til morgen!
