Emil and Danish Christmas


"This is a fictional children's novels wrote  by Astrid Lindgren, covering twelve books written from 1963 to 1997.. It had turn into a play. That I used to watch it on Danish TV with my daughter . In the beginning I link to some video clips that are on you-tube, and I build  my story  by applying to the  Danish Christmas tradition " (I known Emil is Swedish , but as Sweden and Denmark are sister countries, many tradition are alike. I do not hope that I have offended someone by doing this. It is not my intention" 

Emil Christmas a la Danish style
Ida and Emil are brother and sister. They live with their family on a farm called Katthult, in the Village of Lönneberga in Småland district in Sweden

Emil 
 
He has fair hair and blue eyes and looks like an angel, but is not, because he has a prodigious knack for getting into trouble. Contrary to what most people around him think, Emil is not malicious, but does not think about the consequences of his actions. He even states at one point that "you don't make up pranks, they just happen".

 
Ida 

Ida, Emil little sister, is a very well-behaved child, unlike Emil. She has tried to pull pranks like her brother since she wanted to go to the shed, which she thinks is cozy, but she failed.
Emil's mother writes down every bad thing Emil does in a blue book, although, that blue book expands to several blue books. His mother, however, adores her boy and tends to say, "Emil is a nice little boy, and we love him just the way he is."
