Description

A magical tale of a Danish family’s Christmas adventure with two mythical creatures – the Nisser – who model service to one another and the community. Through the eyes and actions of Charlotte, our heroine, children see a model of love, forgiveness, service, and faithfulness. From the farm in southern Denmark to Copenhagen, join the Olsen family as they travel across the country or just down the street serving their family and community. Learn about Danish Christmas traditions such as æbleskiver, gløgg, and julehjerter. Discover the story behind the Blessing Nisser as they guide Charlotte in the practice of loving those around her, whether it be her annoying older brother or the grumpy old man who lives down the street. If you are looking for a way to cultivate a servant’s heart in your children, gather them around with blankets, hot chocolate, and candles; enjoy the hygge; read this charming tale, and challenge them to follow in Charlotte’s footsteps. Your passport to a Danish Christmas comes in a package that contains a 48 page illustrated book, and two craft Nisser that your children can make their own and a set of 32 cards. Twenty-two of the cards have blessing ideas, 5 are blank for you to add your own ideas and traditions and 5 say “You have been loved by the Blessing Nisser”.
