You think THAT is a fire hazard, eh? My sister married a Dane. The Danish traditional Christmas has a giant fir tree covered with lit candles, wooden figures of lots of angels, and the rest of the needles' branches are covered with paper Danish flags attached to little wood poles stuck between the needles. I'm shocked that none of my brother-in-law's family households have been burned to the ground after over 100 years of that daredevil behaviour!
They drink Snaps[[Aqvavit), too. SOMEONE, who has remained reasonably sober, has to remember to snuff out the remaining burning candles before everyone goes to sleep.
