Festive Fans Unite! (send us a message)

The Festive Fans decided to trek northeast to Greenland to see what the fuss was about. We found an incredible place the land of the Vikings, filled with towering icebergs, spectacular fjords, incredible wildlife, and the Northern Lights. OK, so now we get it.

We also watched a Christmas film called Krudt and Kaerlighed (Gunpowder and Love) from 2019, we learned about some of their favorite holiday traditions, and we discovered a spotty history with the U.S., and maybe the reason why the Greenlanders aren’t so enthused with our severe case of the gimmes.

We realize, it’s not easy being Greenland:

It's Not Easy Being Greenland
(to the tune of “Bein’ Green”)

It’s not that easy being Greenland,
ice and snow is pretty much only what we have,
and then the U.S. comes and they want to take, or possess or own us
or make us the fifty-first state like that

Its not easy being Greenland,
When you were not planning to be offered up for sale,
But now we’re considered to be “prime real estate”,
with flashy elements and minerals
That now make you desirable

but Greenland’s what you are,
and you’re happily cold and friendly-like
and Greenland is
home
to glaciers
the land
of the Vikings
and lit
by the northern lights

When Greenland is all you want to be
It can make you wonder why
Why change it why change it
We are Greenland
And we do fine
we are Danish ruled
And we know it’s what we want to be
