Pyrus: The Greatest Christmas (Alletiders Jul)

Times pass

times shall come

time that was, is time that is passed

even tomorrow, time will be over

it's going to be Christmas

christmas is over

the one this year will probably be more fun, than the many we've had

and that's because Christmas is old and christmas is new

christmas is never the same

christmas is like a morning dawn

a new painting in an ancient frame

Christmas remains even as the years pass

therefore, we know we will have an all-time Christmas this year.

18 days into the Christmas month,

or 2/3 through the waiting time,

or 7 nights, and 6 days before the evening,

or pure and straight, December 18th.

But has Christmas gotten into place then?

Does it look like itself, as we know and love it?

Not fully. And now time is slowly starting to ebb out.

Especially if time goes with someone disappearing,

and someone is found,

and someone turns out not to have been gone at all.

And some comes and disappear again,

and comes back again.

And the fried twist arrives, and disappears again.

While the Christmas pyramid has come to remain

to become something completely different.

But how do you show something off,

without showing it off?

Without the person showing it off to,

discovers that what was shown off, was not shown off at all.

Christmas remains even as the years pass.

therefore, we know we will have an all-time Christmas this year.

December 18th "Model and medister"

Christmas this year, an all-time Christmas.

Good morning! Are you up already?

Already! I haven't been to bed at all.

I've been too worried to sleep.

Worried? Now why is that?

Because of the king, Christian the 4th.

You heard yourself that he would come back today.

Yes, it will only be pleasant.

Yes, if only he didn't demand to see his buildings.

I thought he was afraid of the big people.

Yes, and therefore I have had to promise to conjure him big

so that he can walk amongst them.

Good morning.

- What are you talking about? - It's him, Christian.

He is coming back today and he demanded to see his buildings.

- Does it matter? - Yes, it does.

It has been 400 years since he last walked around Copenhagen.

He has no idea how it is today with cars

and buses and all that.

Can't we just settle with showing him some pictures?

- Or some models? - Models?

Models, yes, you say something.

Of course. This is how we handle the case.

How?

Wait and see.

It's a brilliant idea.

And that way, he can't cause accidents.

Now you have to see... stuff.

Um.

Good morning, Birger.

And thanks for yesterday.

Thanks? I am the one to thank.

I ate so much I could barely button my pants.

Yes, you ate well enough, as if you haven't seen a proper meal in years.

I haven't either.

And I had also forgotten how good home-cooked food can taste.

It was nothing.

Nothing?

The meatballs. Ugh, those meatballs.

It was ground beef.

Of course. Ugh, those ground beef patties, those ground beef patties.

And then that lovely sandcake.

A little too cold maybe, but...

It was homemade ice cream.

Yes, yes, that's what I'm saying. An excellent meal if you ask me.

I will then.

Your basis for comparison is probably not the best either.

Thank god for that.

Well, Birger, what shall I do today?

- Med ister. - Med Ister?

Oh, medister!

Medister with sour, it's simply my favorite.

Yes, I thought more about here in the archive.

Oh, yes, what the heart overflows with.

Or in this case, the stomach.

Yeah, let's see.

These, they must be sorted and put in place.

Good, I'll do that.

And shall we say same time tonight?

Same time? Yes, to 'Med-ister.'

There you are.

There we go.

Then we have the basic form.

What is it?

Yes, it is, what shall I call it, a

perspective box, one would say in the old days.

Well, well, and what do you say nowadays?

- Yes, I don't know. - It looks like a puppet theater.

A puppet theater? Well, of course.

Yes, it actually is a kind of puppet theater.

Yes, yes, and what will it be used for?

Yes, now you have to listen.

After all, King Christian insists on wanting to see his buildings.

Right? But since we don't want him running around the city,

- then he can be allowed to see them here instead. - In the puppet theater?

Exactly, we have more control over things there.

Well, not for nothing.

But I don't think that him Christian will be content with watching puppet shows.

- He wants to go to the buildings. - Well, he will get to that too.

- Here in the box. - Yes, now I'm not following either.

- The box is black. - Yes, for now.

And so there it is, I need you to do me a favor.

Look, out in the archive.

By the back shelf is a cardboard box with old tourist leaflets.

Filled with pictures of all the famous buildings in the city.

- I need a stack of those. - For what?

To dress the theater on.

Yes, that was it.

Fine, I'm also ready with today's report to the royal house.

Now it could really do well with a little lunch.

Well, I must say you've got a taste for good food, huh?

Why don't you actually make something yourself?

Here? In the archive?

Yes, there could be room for a microwave here.

A microwave oven?

Tell me, isn't it some kind of modern stuff that can cook in two minutes?

Yes, it's so smart.

And you don't have room for a restaurant kitchen, right?

But you could easily have a microwave in one of the cupboards.

No, at least I don't want such modern-day crap.

Then it is probably also unhealthy.

Oh yeah, but it's smart.

Smart, smart, smart. I loathe that word.

why does everything have to be so smart?

and why does everything has to happen in smoking speed?

what we don't make today,

we can make in peace and quiet sometime tomorrow

relax and have it cozy

why do we always have to rush off?

all that rush and speed harms the soul

you get sick and you get stress,

dies before you're 64

you want everything, but only get half of it

give yourself time, give yourself time

give yourself time to a better life

take your time, take your time

take time for a waste of time

time goes by, time goes by

time goes by, whatever we do

give yourself time to live, and time to think

and time to believe that you dare

Are you listening Ms Brahe?

Yes, yes. Just a moment.

why can we never take a minute?

who said we should chase around until life is over?

there are those who appreciate the paradise of the technique

personally, I think it should be banned

why should we always invent things?

when the only thing we achieve is to run in ring

let's pause it

you get more by walking

once in a while,

just look around a bit

give yourself time, give yourself time

give yourself time for a better life

take your time, take your time

take time for a waste of time

time goes by, time goes by

time goes by, whatever we do

give yourself time to live, and time to think

and time to believe that you dare.

A cardboard box at the furthest back bookcase, it must be this.

Yes, but how do we get up into it?

From the top of course. Here.

Okay.

Then you just open it, and hand me a 5-10 pieces.

Open where? There's tape over everything.

Ugh, typical. Tape is just the worst!

- Maybe we could use this? - No, it won't work.

We need something sharp.

- Where's there something sharp? - We have that at home.

Or maybe we should use that one here?

Your hat? It is not sharp.

No, Freya. Not my hat.

My sharp brain. Hand me that there.

16, 26, 27, 28.

Oh, what is that? "CHRISTMASDECOOORATION."

Christmas decorations... Birger.

Is it strange that I haven't noticed it before?

Let's see what's in it.

Drat, it's just a lot of old tourist leaflets.

Cheat.

Well, moving on. 16, 30.

Is it sharp or is it sharp?

Now let me see.
