The Story Behind That Picture:
"Christmas in Photographs"

A Letter to Santa

This time of year would be a good time to write a letter or a postcard to Santa. Tell him what you have been up to, what your plans are for the coming year, and let him know you believe in him.

 

  The address is simply:  
  Santa Claus
North Pole
 
  Add normal postage  

 

This time of year is - in particular - the time to be nice to other people and to decide how one can be of value to others in the coming years. Santa in particular is a uniting person. Having been around for close to 1,800 years, he never asked for anything, never talked about retirement, and managed to stay neutral in matters of politics or religion. In times of peace and war he has always delivered the goods, as well as been a uniting hope for large and small people.

 

On Christmas eve, the 24th of December, most Europeans light up real candlelights on the tree and form a circle around the tree; then they walk hand-in-hand around the tree and sing Christmas songs.

Christmas in pictures

I spent some time going through my photo archives to see what Christmas looks like around the world. And here they are ...

I have often put myself in places around the world where Christmas was not celebrated too dramatically. Places like Bali, Taiwan, Thailand and such places. This year though, I am in Los Angeles. Being home with my picture archive, I spent a few minutes going through what Christmas has been looking like throughout the years.

In Europe almost all households buy a real Christmas tree to put indoor. It doesn' make much sense if you think about it, but it's a traidtion and a real tree smells really nice. Few would buy a plastic tree. Leica M9. © Thorsten Overgaard.

A traditional December 24
Christmas Eve in Denmark:

The stores and streets will often start becoming decorated for Christmas as early as late October. After two months of looking forward to Christmas, sitting in traffic jams, and having the credit cards swiped to exhaustion, the actual celebration of Christmas happens on the evening of December 24:

December 24, 4:00 PM
A minority of Danes go to church on this day, or on one of the following days. It is one of the busiest days for the church, and it is seldom seen as a religious event. In a country where 90% are members of the church by birth, most will only see the church for confirmation, weddings and funerals. Only a small percentage are actual Christians. Attending church for Christmas is a tradition that goes along with the Danish concept of "hygge" (being indoors with candle lights and experiencing togetherness while it is cold and dark outside).

6.00 PM
Dinner for the whole family. The dessert is usually "risalamande" with a cream and almond hidden in one of the plates. Whoever finds the almond gets an "almond gift"

7.30 PM
The family dances around the Christmas tree and sing songs.



The ideal of a Christmas in Denmark.

8.00 PM
As the children have been bursting for a month and just can't take it anymore (and nobody sings that well anyways), the family gives in and unpacks the presents under the tree. In some families, everybody attacks the tree and open their presents at the same time. Others open one gift at a time; and the one who just opened a present gets to pick the next present and deliver it to the next person. This is a good way to make the evening last a bit longer, and for everyone to see what was given and received.

9:30 PM
It's over and everybody wonders how there could be so much work for these few hours of celebration. The children are put to bed a bit later, and it's not unusual that the whole house is asleep before 11.00 PM.

The traditional Christmas Days are December 25, 26 and 27, which are bank holidays. The whole country is in a quiet mode, with almost all offices and stores closed; and many extend the holiday until after New Year’s evening. Even the cinemas are closed and don't open until the 27th. It's family time, and there is not much otherwise to do. Often, there are long walks and Christmas lunches at other family members’ places; sometimes with friends (but mostly the Christmas days are a family time and are not a social event with friends).

Just as it’s difficult for Danes to comprehend that Americans don't celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve (the 24th), it's equally weird for Americans that Danes don't understand how to celebrate Christmas on the morning of the 25th. The difference extends to the degree that Danes stop everything for four full days in order to celebrate Christmas, whereas Americans go straight back to entertainment and shopping later on the 25th. On the 28th, the Danes join in kind by exchanging gifts, going out to big New Year’s sales, and shopping for New Year’s eve celebrations – which are very alcoholic and explosive events (literally).

My Christmas

When I was a child I could hardly wait for Christmas. It never ocurred to me that this excitement would ever change later in life. When I was 6 my brother and I committed our first crime during Christmas: We peeked and learned our dad had bought us two very expensive transisor radios with cassette players. We jumped around for hours and then pretended as nothing when our parents came home.

In my 20's I started buying my own presents that people could give me, and over the years I simply bought what I wanted, whenever I wanted. In a way you could say I started off on the wrong foot with Christmas, a child of the consumer age. I should redefine Christmas for myself. The American Thanksgiving is more in the spirit of what Christmas ought to be.

For us who grew up with white Christmas, it's a great pleasure when it actually snows this time of year. The more the merrier. A thick layer of snow puts a damp to the sounds, stops traffic and the usual business of things; it makes the whole place into a playground and a landscape to be explored.
