Hi Joy,

Yes-that’s true. We love our flag tradition and usually also decorate the house with Danish flags when there is a birthday

Best wishes,
Tina

Hi – I read somewhere that it is a birthday tradition in Denmark to fly a flag from the house to show that it is the birthday of someone living in that house. Is it true?
Thanks,
Joy

Hi Kathy,

I guess every Danish person celebrates differently. But in my family we put a lot of effort into the food we eat on our birthdays and if we have a chance we like to bake a cake for the birthday “child”. So I might suggest you doing this for your friend.

Good luck with it. I am sure he will appreciate your efforts in any case. You are very thoughtful.

Best wishes,
Tina

Is your friend American Kathy? If so, I’m not sure what Americans tend to like as presents. Sorry!

I am in America- I have a new friend who just moved here who is turning 30. I bought him a peppermill (he is unmarried)- what else can I do to make the day special for him?

Hi D

A traditional Danish breakfast consists of different kinds of bread, Danish cakes, soft boiled eggs, cheese, jam, coffee and juice
