Scottish Christmas!

Then the day of the Scottish Christmas, the 25th of December, finally came! I had no idea what to except - all I knew about it was what I had seen in American movies (which by the way is not like the Scottish traditions!). 

When I was woken up early (at least for me) in the morning and told that "Santa has been!", my first problem arrived: what do you wear when you open presents? In Denmark you open presents late in the evening, so you're of course dresses up, but this was in the morning, and I had seen in the American movies that the children opened presents in pyjamas - I decided to "dress up", though, which ended up being a good choice!

Quick selfie to show how I decided to look like (and to show how INCREDIBLY EXCITED I were) before I went down to open presents

I was SO overwhelmed by the amount of presents I recieved (and look at the colour-coding!), it was so amazing - and the things inside were even MORE incredible! I got so much candy overall in this Christmas, my entire room is just filled with chocolate, macaroons, liqourice (lakridskonfekt, wuhu!), candy canes and so much more everywhere!

The children had been around and opened their presents before I got the courage to go down, so it was just me, who needed to open presents, when I finally dared to go down the stairs

The amazing dinner-table!

After the presents we had a few hours of relaxing and looking at our presents, before it was dinner-time! Or not actually dinner, 'cause it was 2-3 in the afternoon, but it was food-time, at least!

I was so busy eating so I forgot to take pictures of the actual food - all I photographed was the beautiful trifli I had for desert later in the evening - but we had a lot of food! We had a bit of duck, chicken, turkey, brussel sprouts, mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes (you can never get enough potatoes) and gravy - and we had LOTS!

The table was so beautifully decked as well - we had gold cutlery and everything!

I wasn't sure if I should put a picture of my presents of (some people might consider it bragging, idk) but I decided to do it anyway - the top picture is the presents from my friends here and family back home and the bottom picture is the presents from my host family. I didn't expect to get that many presents AT ALL, it was incredible!

I also had a few more Christmas Skype conversations on the 25th with Isabella and my mom and Bimmer!

Overall, the Christmas in Scotland was very good! It was different from the Danish Christmas, but I didn't expect anything else, and because of Skype I still got to talk to my family back home and open presents, which definitely made everything a lot easier!
I am looking forward to spending the next Christmas with back home, but I thought it was so much fun to try a Scottish Christmas, and I think I'll be missing a lot of the Scottish traditions next year as well.
