Suddenly the Streets are empty. There is plenty of room on the bike tracks, and its no problem to find parking space for your car. What has changed? Its Xmas and half of the Copenhagen population have gone back to the family in Jutland. I Guess they are playing “Driving home for Xmas”, on the way. Speaking of Xmas songs: I am dead tired of all these songs playing in Christmas. Its the only time of year, where you just have one kind of songs. And its the same, year after year. I am not looking forward to January, because I like the Christmas party´s and Holidays. Well anyway. Happy winter solstice – The days are getting longer again.
