One episode is shown each day in December with the last one being aired on Christmas Eve. The first Julekalender was shown on TV in Denmark in 1962. The two main Danish TV channels DR and TV2 both show different versions of Julekalender each year. The theme of the stories in the Julekalender normally follow a similar storyline, with someone trying to ruin Christmas and the main characters saving Christmas!]]> 2016-12-15 10:06:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mads_dybdal_jacobsen/ee42llaeqdvt/wish/143793978 mads_dybdal_jacobsen https://padlet.com/mads_dybdal_jacobsen/ee42llaeqdvt/wish/143794586 As well as the TV series, both DR and TV2 produce paper advent calendars to go along with the stories!

It's also an old, traditional custom to give animals a treat on Christmas Eve, so some people go for a walk in the park or woods and they might take some food to give the animals and birds. You might also go for a walk to give you an appetite for the Christmas meal!]]> 2016-12-15 10:22:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mads_dybdal_jacobsen/ee42llaeqdvt/wish/143796218 mads_dybdal_jacobsen https://padlet.com/mads_dybdal_jacobsen/ee42llaeqdvt/wish/144416303 In Denmark, children believe that their presents are brought by the 'Julemanden' (which means 'Christmas Man').
