Apparently Denmark got liberated from the Germans in the evening of the 4th of May, 1945. That day (well, evening) the people celebrated their freedom by placing lots of candles in their windows, and that became a tradition until this day. So I waited until today to post about candles and candle holders, because it seemed very appropriate.
But in all honesty the Danes have candles lighted in their windows, dining table, side table, commode... doesn't matter where, really... all year long. Candles make the home hyggelig and they love it. I think it's cute and sweet like many of their other traditions and habits.
