Nostalgia, Christmas spirit and December fun
Then it became winter, the month of Christmas is knocking... How do you make the short days turn into something cozy and festive? As always, we have wonderful outfits for your December gatherings, everything from Christmas fun and walks to Christmas lunch and Christmas ball. We have also collected some suggestions and the top 5 best old Christmas movies for a lovely Christmas December in a vintage mood.
Again this year we can gather and celebrate with all those we care about, but the world also looks a little different than we probably imagined last year at the same time. In the middle of a crisis, it can be the very best medicine to see the nearest and dearest, and to have fun with them and celebrate family and friendships.
Outdoors in December - Vintage knitwear and coats
Make use of the few light hours in the day to get some vitamin D in your account! Maybe we can't exactly go sledding in the snow, but at least we can get outside. We have to go out for long walks in nature, and you can do that alone, perhaps with a good (Christmas) podcast in your ears or an audiobook, or you can take the opportunity to see your friend, perhaps with some warm mulled wine the thermos bottle.
If you like skating, you can live out your inner 'Ice Princess' dream with the fine Emmy dresses in soft merino wool. And of course your indispensable Ice Skater Cardigan.
For your outdoor look, we currently have lots of beautiful coats in the right 'winter wonderland' style.
See all the beautiful coats with an hourglass figure, including the absolutely irresistible and nostalgic Sherlock #2 coat from Emmy Design.


How do you get into the Christmas spirit?
Advent wreath and Christmas tree
Do you also belong to those who roll their eyes when the first Christmas carols are played right after the autumn holidays? But the 24 December days leading up to Christmas often pass so quickly that you don't get to enjoy the special time at all.
After all, you can make an Advent wreath in good time, and thereby be reminded that December and the Christmas season are just around the corner. Did you know that the color of Advent is purple, and that you can therefore appropriately wear beautiful purple dresses during Advent. We have both beautiful purple swing dresses and 50's style pencil dresses . Add a Christmas brooch if you want it to be really Christmasy.
Top 5 vintage Christmas movies for your December
5. Meet Me in St Louis from 1944
4. White Christmas from 1954
3. Nøddebo Rectory 1934 or 1974
2. Far til Fire i Byen (yes, the one with the Christmas ball in Nisseland) from 1956
1. It's a Wonderful Life from 1946

Christmas baking, Christmas books and Nøddebo vicarage
Perhaps you can consider what best gets you in the Christmas spirit. It doesn't have to be the big Christmas tam-tam, you can also take it easy. In the evening, you can read some of your favorite books set around Christmas time, or watch films and series that you associate with Christmas. It can also be smelling and music getting you in the Christmas spirit. Maybe a lovely scented candle or home-baked cookies while playing your favorite Christmas playlist.
It may also be that you are going to the theater and see some of the plays that go on just for Christmas! The theater can also become a wonderful Christmas tradition, and here you can also dress extra nicely in, for example, a beautiful swing dress or a velor trouser suit. The Nutcracker, Nøddebo Præstegård, or some of the other wonderful performances that you can watch in the lead up to Christmas.
The little Christmas parties
Are you going to invite friends or family for Christmas fun in December? Maybe it can just be having friends over to watch a Christmas movie and drink mulled wine. Or maybe something as old-fashioned as getting together and making Christmas decorations. Turn on (the energy-saving) string lights, or light candles and dress up for a wonderful Christmas get-together, for example in the atmospheric Jenni dress with moon and stars. Or some of the all beautiful checkered dresses in the navy tones.
