Regemessig

Regemessig is a holiday celebrated in Denmark. It marks the second day of Christmas and falls on December 26th. The name "Regemessig" is Old Norse and translates roughly to "second day of the feast." While Christmas Day, December 25th, is often a more intimate family affair, Regemessig is traditionally a day for visiting extended family and friends. It's a time for continued feasting and social gatherings after the main Christmas celebrations. Many Danish families will enjoy leftover Christmas food, such as roast pork or duck, and traditional Christmas pastries. The day is generally a relaxed one, allowing for leisurely activities and continued enjoyment of the holiday season. It is a public holiday in Denmark, meaning most businesses and schools are closed. The traditions associated with Regemessig emphasize community and extending the festive spirit beyond the single day of Christmas.
