The Danish word jul translates to "yule," the winter solstice celebration from which many Christian traditions have been derived. Technically, julefrokost means "Christmas lunch," but that doesn't stop these events from lasting all day and into the night. Friends, family members, and colleagues host parties throughout the month of December, and each gathering includes several courses of food and an abundance of alcoholic beverages. Similar to their Scandinavian neighbor, Norway celebrates Christmas with a festive meal called julebord, and Sweden has julbord, both of which translate to "Christmas table."
