I won't go into the whole Advent songs and Lucia songs thing, because it's just forrin  Suffice it to say that I'll be traipsing around in a white gown tomorrow, carrying a candle.
And it is -18°C out. Goodnight!

Apt...I heard of celebrating St Lucia's day when my neices were young and played with American Girl dolls. There was one named Kirsten Larson who was supposed to be from 1854 who had immigrated to United States from Ryd, Sweden and in it one of the books they show her in her white gown with a wreath on her head... Its alway fun and interesting no matter how old you are to learn of other culture's traditions..
