LambritsUK the lambrits Jerry Curl: Adam Lambert addresses gay marriage on new album: bit.ly/tVzE50 10 hours ago Unfavorite Retweet Reply jerrycurl.blogspot.com/2011/11/adam-lambert-addresses-gay-marriage-on.htmlAdam Lambert addresses gay marriage on new album  Adam Lambert offers some insight into his upcoming dance-oriented album Trespassing in a new Rolling Stone interview. This year, Lambert assembled hitmakers including Pharrell Williams, Dr. Luke and "Teenage Dream" co-writer Bonnie McKee to replace his 2009 debut's glam pop with a club-ready sound inspired by classic disco, Nineties electronica and Skrillex-y dubstep. He even got Chic's Nile Rodgers to play on "Shady," a sexy cut that Lambert describes as "Nine Inch Nails meets Saturday Night Fever." more... |

Thanks for all the info, bobo!! I love hearing about traditions from other cultures! Here in Canada, I never knew any families that actually sang together at Christmas time. I did listen to that vid you posted, and I think Saana has a good voice!  I'm thinking that Sauli's family probably sings traditional Finnish Christmas songs, which Adam won't know.... but I guess he could hum along. LOL Good morning all - just checking in after reading the thread from last night (my time) and if you want to see examples of a Danish celebration, here are a couple of links. Please scroll if you don't want a description of our Christmas - I've tried to keep it brief www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNT51EX-9vM&feature=relatedwww.youtube.com/watch?v=Gy9cKvMGIsk&feature=relatedThis is pretty much standard for everyone I know here that celebrate Christmas. We celebrate on the 24th, starting with a traditional dinner around six o'clock (so the children won't get too tired) consisting of roast pork and roast duck stuffed with apples and prunes accompanied by red cabbage (warm), plain potatoes and "brown" (sugar-coated) potatoes and of course gravy. The traditional dessert is a type of rice pudding with lots of chopped almonds accomanied by a warm cherry sauce and one whole almond hidden in the pudding somewhere with a prize for the one who finds it. After dinner it's time for singing and "dancing" (more like shuffling) around the tree. After the "holy" songs as my dad calls them and the fun songs, it's time for presents - and some much needed coffee for the grownups, as the last song is one that requires running around the house - still with linked hands - until you run out of breath! There is nothing religious about this except for some of the songs and we have no church-going traditions in our family. We only go for christenings, confirmations, weddings and funerals. But many people also go for Christmas and it is the one time of year that churches are completely full - and there are even special children's services. I would miss the singing and the "dancing" around a beautifully decorated tree with lights and decorations - many home-made and handed down from my great-grandparents and some made this year, if we didn't do that. Now, I'm curious - do you "dance" around the tree in any other countries? It is a dream of mine to experience a Danish Christmas in Denmark! (preferably with snow!) My mother is Danish and I have grown up with many of the traditions you mention. Roast pork, red cabbage, candied potatoes & gravy... YUMMMM!!!!! But when it is a humid summer evening, (tis summer here in NZ) then it is not the ideal meal! ;D Mum makes the rice/almond desert - do you have a prize for the person who finds the whole almond?! Danish flags everywhere!! on the tree.... table settings.... etc As kids, we used to "dance" around the tree and sing Danish carols, but we stopped that when my Morfar (mother's father for non-Danes) passed away. Sadly now it is just my mother surviving as my Mormor and Uncle also died a few years ago. We still sing a few Danish carols tho! However I'm sure there are many other traditions that we haven't done.... I guess it's still too early to say Glade Jule!!! :D ETA: I really hope Adam does get to experience Christmas in Finland - likely it wouldn't be a religious thing, but a chance to meet Sauli's family and spend time with them, as well as learn more about Finnish traditions! |

Hi Eri I read your post from last night and I didn't know that you are half Danish. It sounds like maybe you speak a little Danish? Anyway, if you are ever in this "neck of the woods", I would love for you to come visit. I can't promise snow even though we've been inundated with it the past couple of years (due to the weather changes I'm sure). We are a bit too far south to have proper winter as they do in the rest of the Nordic countries, but Christmas is definitely better with snow And Glædelig Jul to you too |

I don't think dancing around the tree is a tradition in North America... at least I've never heard of it. I know that many (most?) European countries open presents etc on Christmas Eve, but what does everyone do on Christmas Day? Go to church and eat leftovers? |
