Happy Lucia Day

^Red Sox Lucia

We started the weekend by celebrating St. Lucia Day 

early this morning.

Our St. Lucia brought hot cocoa,

buttered toast, and danish pastries

to us in bed. 

This year was Lauren's turn 

and she brought a certain Boston quality to it.

We really should invest in 

a white robe and red sash for the traditional St. Lucia look

{more here about last year's celebration} 

I love St. Lucia.

Here's to small traditions 

that light up our days.

Happy St. Lucia day to you, too, Annie! We had dinner a week ago or so at the home of some friends, one of whom is a Lutheran pastor, and they had a bunch of Carl Larsson stuff that made me think fondly about growing up with those good old scandinavian traditions.

Love that idea. How fun.

I hadn't heard of St Lucia Day so I googled it to find out. It was interesting to read the history of it. Any tradition which involves danish pastries, hot cocoa and buttered toast in bed sounds worth starting to celebrate next year!!

Traditions are my favorite things! I love learning and reading about what other families do.

It warms my heart to see Lauren as St. Lucia. How wonderful that you are carrying on that tradition. And real Danish pastries. Well, that is just wunderbar! (German, 'cause I don't know the Danish for wonderful).
Love you!

I too, love, love, love different traditions. St. Lucia is Swedish, no? We could have actually legitimately done! I missed out, where was blogging when my kids were young?
