Denmark
The Danes are lucky to have not one, but two Santa Clauses – the old big Yulemanden and the young little Yulenisse. An obligatory dish on the New Year’s table is a large bowl of rice porridge with a secret – almonds or any other nut. Whoever gets it will certainly be happy next year.
Denmark has an interesting and unusual New Year’s way to preserve conifers, it would not hurt to borrow it as well. Foresters treat spruce with a special agent, which begins to smell very unpleasant and harsh in the warm conditions of living quarters. Therefore, no one chops down living trees there.
