Hygge and Christmas traditions

Do you know some of the most cosy Christmas traditions and preparations we keep up here in Denmark?

Julehygge is probably the best term to define the Christmas traditions and the many wonderful activities: baking Christmas cakes, braiding Christmas hearts, switching on Christmas lights, and finding the many Christmas Elves while putting out porridge for them. There's also gift shopping and lovely Christmas lunches (julefrokost) enjoyed in the company of family and friends. The whole month of December is filled with cosiness and wonderful traditions.
