As a Dane I was in the airport when an American came by with his skiing equipment and asked me where the best slopes were - I had to say Norway…

Maybe it’s because I was raised with it, but the dark period of the year is some of my favorite time. The darkness and cold is a great excuse for grabbing blankets, candles, hot drinks and a good book, and cuddling up on a couch or in bed. That’s probably why the Scandinavians invented “hygge”, to cope with the dark months

I’m British and have lived in Copenhagen for almost 7 years, was getting in trouble with the police in the uk when I was a teen. Denmark really forged me into a decent man, thank you Denmark

I’m a native from Denmark and this is so true

Hehe, sorry 😂 January to spring can be brutal. No holidays and celebrations. You have to “bring your own”.

January is like the "hangover month". Everyone's been eating and drinking for the last month, and now you finally get to have no obligations.

Velkommen til Danmark🇩🇰🇩🇰

🤣🤣 You should try living in Greenland 🇬🇱 which is also part of the Kingdom of Denmark. We have winter from November to May. 🤣 During the shortest days in Nuuk, we only have dim daylight for a couple of hours in the middle of the day.

😂 January is my absolute least favourite month. It’s so long and dark and cold. If you survive a Danish January without running away, you’re gonna stay.

Try "Bornholm" it is Also in Denmark its a little island you dont have to move there just go on a vacation please they have such beautiful things

Tysm i live there. I didn’t know it was beautiful, I thought it was boring.y’all see this are welcome here in Denmark 🇩🇰

That Christmas market in the background is the most german thing in Denmark

I am from Denmark and it makes my happy you love it

Yeah Christmas markers are basically the only light we see in the Winther

The "HuH" in the end😂

THE most depressing thing is when you see a group of schoolers heading to either grade or high school in January and it just looks depressing. It’s not even because it is, they’re just going about their daily routine and education is important but like… have you ever thought about how we look like penguins waddling around in those big fucking pull up overalls? Like the school (at least where I went to school, which is admittedly in the countryside) looked abandoned in the winter. It looked seriously depressing. Also another tradition outside the city is flagging down the bus with your flashlight on your phone or an actual flashlight (I’m born before smartphones became a big deal, leave me alone)

My parents' solution is just not taking down the Christmas decorations until the beginning of March

Or spend time with friends and family having a cozy time with hot beverages playing board games. You bring out the candles. I love the laidback life having si much time for family.

you know dude you just gotta learn to appreciate those times. I really enjoy the quiet season. I go for walks on the beaches that are everywhere here and there are all empty and you can be alone. That way you learn to really appreciate yourself.

No one loves the dark winter season here in DK which is why at the first sign of spring Danes gather in the streets, parks and outdoor cafes. They are sun worshippers which is why Danes prefer going on vacation to Spain, Greece etc.

I’m in Denmark right now and I come every Christmas to celebrate with my family

I’m from Denmark, writing this in my room, looking outside, waching a COLD day as all the other days here in Denmark:)

As a Dane I just love this. Don't miss the dark winters

You visited in December and already moved in January. Damn that’s fast!

I have never heard anything more accurate. December is amazing, and then January comes along, but so does the winter depression.

BAZINGA! 😉😁👍🏻 Glad we lured you in. 👍🏻🤗

Thats so true After New years, its exams and school again, so everyone is dead and tried. But the snow that normally comes in january is dope

😂😂😂😂😂😂 that’s how we trick everybody to come live here 😂😂😂 welcome to the darkness. There’s only 7 month till summer and the light nights 😳😂😳😂

I have a friend who works at a shop selling christmas decorations all year round. The store has christmas jingles all day everyday... She has one month of vacation every year and one day I realized she celebrates christmas 11 months of the year while everyone celebrates one month... it is a total xmas reversal of life... I would commit suicede! LOL

As a Dane that comes from a family that have been here since the very beginning of times. I can say there is no place i rather be then here, I truly love my country and the people. An would do everything to preserve our little heavenly place that my ancestors created for us, im lucky to be in the bloodline of Gorm the old and Haraldbluetooth. and entire family and their names including mine can be found in the Royallibrary in the Royal blueblood books. Its so damn cool, cause i cant go anywhere in this country with my son where i can tell a story about our ancestors and what they did at the spot we stand and all that. its so awesome, and he also learns about it all in school where he can tell the rest that its about his family :) just like i did, and all the others did before me. Glad you an your man like our little lovely country and that you two are so into learning about everything, and then telling others about it. its AWESOME!

OMG nobody understands me when I’m talking about Copenhagen in November, I thought I was going crazy. Yessssss is very beautiful! Thank you for validate me.

This made me grin from ear to ear :)

Ikr Christmas is the best time in denmark (i live in denmark)

So true xD it’s fucking dark here from November till March 😂😂😂

To me, a Finn it's interesting because during the winter I feel like Denmark has so much more light is so much warmer! I love it even though I do miss snow

Hey Denmark is the third most safe land in the hole world

Fa la la la the Denmark fairytale stricks again

I’ve just been on vacation to somewhere else and it was the best summer ever but as soon as I was back in Denmark it was raining to hard. I’m not a fan of danish summers

Lotta things rotten in Denmark, not just the lack of Christmas fairs in january

There is like 3 places you can even get pretzels in the entire city, and those are for tourists

I love how all the upvote bait comments are left ignored. "Zomg if you're a Dane, upvooooote" and all the Danes are like "no". Love it.

Denmark gang🇩🇰 👇

I am here in Denmark and....... you are right.

Have you been to Sweden? 🇸🇪🤝🇩🇰

I’ve lived in Denamrk for 10 years, and my birthday is in January 😪, and there is something In Denamrk where you say: you were born while it’s hot so you have good luck, and something like that, and then I would just sit there in class and people say: ahh you were born while it’s come you have been bad, something like that, I know no one asked but it still is fun to comment

Where we disappear to? We have to recover from Christmas lunches and dinners. Have you been to one? The food comas are real as well as the hangovers.

This just in: Holidays decorations get taken down when the holiday is over. 😱😱

Denmark is the best land of all time 👇

Nisseøl is something we drink at Christmas in Denmark

😃😃😂 love it. My former (I moved) neighbor is from Texas - they moved to Denmark for 5 years ago and love it.

I live in Denmark welcome to this nice country I hope you like it here 😊

I think summer in Denmark are way worse. It's only dark for like 3 or 4 hours then the sun goes up. And the birds starts singing. FML

Darkness! But then our summers kick in and you got lights all night... I moved to the states a handful of years ago, and I really miss the danish summer nights, here its dark from 6pm always... More or less

There’s actually a danish song that mentions this It goes (roughly translated) “Hey Mom, why is everything so cold in January? Hey Moooom, when everything is so warm in december” Basically we danes love our christmas and we survive the cold to celebrate and be together but when the celebration ends then we all just go back to staying inside during the time where we are not commuting

Yep, christmas time is the warm light in the otherwise cold dark winter

Its because its december we are all having a good time in december and then comes january and then we all just walk back inside🤣

Denmark is just perfect🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰

Im from denmmark and i live close to the place u where and the place is an Christmas market so they remove it on december 25

all the Danes in this commentsection "I am from Denmark and..." we love a proud people

Oh- I am from Denmark and from experience it’s the Christmas markets that you are talking about, they put them up in November. After Christmas it is all gone :)

I ain't dark in the center of the city never. Until may it's all illuminated

I live in Denmark It's very nice there And I think that theres lights in janurary over in Hjørring

I am danish sp tysm ur so kind to my country ur welocome in it

There would be 2 months back but more like 58 days left in dark and probably 57 days

Welcome to Denmark.

Fact is, it's an empty place constantly. I remember living in Copenhagen for a little while and, just going for a walk on a Sunday afternoon, I ended up almost screaming "is anyone here...anyone alive?" ..zzz The city centre might have been ok'ish but, as soon as you are 15 minutes away from there, it's completely dead everywhere and, the very few people you might meet on your way - they are afraid of speaking to anyone.. No news really - this is how it always was...zzz

after 18:00 most of them get inside, its like they live in fear or something, only the predators stay up and are seen looking for something even they do not know what for.

If you could only afford to travel internationally to one place for two weeks, where would you go?

Dark is not worst the rain!!! Autumn lasts like half a year. I lived in Belfast for a year before moving to Denmark. Im still not sure wich one has more rain....(pretty sure its denmark)

I’m danish it’s a beautiful country

Beautiful place none the less. Wonderful people is what makes a place.

Bro Said ahhh 💀

😂😂😂 like the Vikings according to hearsay got tricked by Greenland 😅

I was born in poland and i lived almost my whole life in denmark

Schleswig Holstein also still has Christmas markets, i love our neighbors down south

I was honestly surprised to hear about Denmark because i don't feel like it gets mentioned very often, very glad you like it though 😊

Do a Denmark Christmas video!!! 🎄🎁🎅

Welcome to the country, glad to have you :)

Becuse we have fun inside 😁😁😁

How ironic, l moved to Vancouver and had a very similar experience. But to be truthful, I wanted to move there anyway.

I live in denmark and its so fun

That's the whole purpose of julemarkeder - tricking non suspecting Americans to move here... ;-)

Hahaha. Wonderful. But it worked 😂❤🎄

Im olso from Denmark so true

Danish: jeg ved det, Danmark er bare det bedste.

True our country is too quite in the middle and end at winter

I have successfully tricked you, as a fellow Dane I sentence you to commit lego step

Denmark is great 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰

Can confirm.

I live in Denmark 🇩🇰

I love all your content from you tube and here! I wish to see you in a person both❤❤

Haha sorry for it its because the most Danish people celebrate Christmas in december

it is just in the Christmas the light and Trees and but in Gilleleje it also in January

Elsker Danmark 🇩🇰

Well in the Christmas season we have ro get gifts, but when janurary comes around we become hermit crabs.

Then you should try living though a winter season on the countryside of Denmark!

I know! I'm Danish and I wish I could hibernate😳

Cold 🥶 and dark place… hell on earth

I get how it tricked you... It tricked me too, I was supposed to be born in January, but nobody was gonna cheat me out of my first Christmas! I arrived a week before Christmas instead... 😂

Yea it be like that 1 time a year its magicall and the rest is deppresing 😂
