Det står med brede bøge

Og det er Frejeas sal. Es gibt ein liebliches Land,
das liegt mit breiten Buchen
nah am salz'gen Ostseestrand.
Erstreckt sich über Hügel und Tal,
Es heißt das alte Dänemark,
und ist der der Freja Saal. There Is A Lovely LandThere is a lovely land
That proudly spreads her beeches
Beside the Baltic strand,
Beside the Baltic strand.
A land that curves in hill and dale,
That men have named Old Denmark,
And this is Freya's hall, and this is Freya's hall.
There sat that earlier day
The heroes in their harness
And rested from the fray;
And rested from the fray;
Then forth they went, the foe they downed,
But now their bones are resting
'Neath bauta-stone and mound,
'Neath bauta-stone and mound.
And still that land is fair,
So blue the seas that belt her,
So green the woodland there;
So green the woodland there;
And noble women, comely girls
And men and lads of mettle
Dwell in the Danish isles,
Dwell in the Danish isles.

Norway and Sweden are both great countries - the "better" one largely depends on personal opinion. Their economies are fairly similar, and both have high costs and benefits of living. Norway's citizens tend to lean more on the asocial
asocial side, which suits some people perfectly; Swedes are more social than Norwegians, but probably less so than what you're accustomed to. Norway has a higher GDP per capita, which basically means Norwegians make more money; Sweden has a more even distribution of wealth. Both countries have a fantastic welfare system - but only for permanent residents. Permanent residency is easier to earn in Sweden, since it is in the European Union, and that also adds the benefits of being able to move between other EU countries freely. So, overall, it's just whichever country you like better.
(If you're looking for an opinion, then Sweden is better than Norway seen from an "overall" perspective.)

What kind of music do people in denmark like to listen to?
Of course, everyone listens to something different and it depends a lot on your age and who you hang out with.
The younger teenagers before they go to high school often listen to a lot of American pop and (all kinds of) techno.
When you go to high school you often find yourself more receptive to all kinds of alternative music, and generally more people listen to alternative rock and pop and the less well-known bands that don't get played all the time on MTV.

When do Denmark Sweden and Norway celebrate Christmas on which day?
The 24th of December in the evening. We call it Christmas Eve (Juleaften) - no explanation needed there.
The day part of the 24th (Called Christmas Eve's Day - Juleaftensdag) is spend preparing for the celebrations in the evening.
The reason we do this however, is because of our history.
Christimas (called Jul in Denmark - Yule in english) is a traditon celebrated by the native nordic population of Europe since before Christianity adopted the tradition and turned it into what it is today..
In scandinavia, istorically speaking , a new day started in the evening, not in the morning like today. Which is why the Scandinavians celebrate Christmas in the evening - it's a part of the old tradition.
The 25th is usually spend with family, eating food and enjoying each others company.
