And for dessert we had ris a la mande (rice pudding with almonds). There is a danish Christmas tradition where amongst all the almond chunks, a whole almond is hidden in the rice pudding. The family members will keep eating the rice pudding in hopes of getting the whole almond. And whoever gets the almond in the end gets a prize. Brian got it on his first scoop and got a box of chocolate.
After dinner, there was more Danishness as we walked around the Christmas tree holding hands and singing both Danish and English Christmas songs. This was followed by present opening/exchanges between Marcella's family and a few hours of conversation. Hyggeligt.
