Step back about 200 years at Den Fynske Landsby, where the Christmas table is laid the way it would have been around 1800. Before today's Christmas traditions took hold, the festive season was far more modest: no Christmas tree, no presents and no caramelised potatoes.
In the farmhouse living room, the table shows how households decorated with their finest possessions instead, such as beautifully embroidered cloth, straw and just two candles. In the brew house, farm folk gather to bind the traditional Christmas sheaf, and you can chat with them while they work.
