Hi everyone To find some info on the Danish Easter, as always I turned to Worktrotter The information is helpful, but I'd also like to get some first-hand info, 'cause I've never experienced the Danish Easter. This year I'm going to spend Easter ...

Sarah

There is no rules from when you can start sending the letters, however it is on Easter day that you must give and get the Easter eggs, so it must be before that. Normally one would give chocolate Easter eggs, but one can be more creative as well. Read More
