    Christmas is a big deal in Denmark. Most of the

    population is either Orthodox or Catholic. Tivoli,

    tourism and Christmas activity.

    (Fun fact: The Danish love to ice-skate around

    Christmas time!)
    Clothing
    Like other Western Europe countries, Denmark has a lot of American symbolism and it tends to follow
    style trends. Traditionally, however, people wore folk clothing.

    Danish clothing. To the right
