Liselotte Elsborg can't remember when she learned to make the paper decorations that are ubiquitous in her native Denmark during Christmas time. "In my mind, I have always been able to do these things," she said. She's been expertly interlacing the strands of Christmas hearts, or julehjerter (YOU-luh-YAIR-duh), for so many decades, she said, that it "is probably part of my DNA."Denmark itself is a little fuzzy on the origins of these crafted hearts, which are also made in Norway.
