Jul i Lygby

Sunday was "Jul i Lygby" or "Christmas in Lyngby". There was a little parade through town with not 1, not 2 but 3 Santas! By little parade I mean it passed in about 2 minutes, but it last about 45 minutes as it made its way through the 3 big main streets in Lyngby.

The parade ended at the Lyngby Town Hall, where the lighting of the big town Christmas tree took place. It was FREEZING out so we bundled up very well. We had a nice time in our little community and it was fun to see so many happy people out in the streets. Unfortunately our camera and video camera died before the lighting actually happened.

We walk by this building every day on our way to the gym.
My main grocery store is located right next to this building

Me with the Lyngby Christmas tree

We got some Glogg and Æbleskiver's to help get into the Christmas spirit

This picture is taken where the big Christmas tree is. It is just a few minutes walk from our flat. You can see a big black building in the distance in this picture. That building is the same building that you can see from our balcony. Also, to the right in this picture you will see a clock hanging on the wall of the building. Right below that is the store where Michael and I purchased our wedding rings from 5 years ago!

Same black building as seen from the Pate Pad

Friday night we also put up our Charlie Brown Christmas Tree along with the rest of our decorations. It is goofy looking, but he is kinda cute in his own special way.

You might recognize this tree from somewhere.
He is from our balcony.

And I wonder if your Danish friends will know what a Charlie Brown Christmas tree is! LOL

Now that Jul has come to Lyngby and the Pate home, those early dark days won't seem so dreary!!!

Yeah, Kelli is right! I don't know what a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree is. But I'm sure I can find out somewhere on-line!
I do, of course, know who Charlie Brown is so maybe it's obvious!?

That parade wasn't exactly to the scale of Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade!
Convenient that Santa's sleigh has wheels!!!
