Happy Lucia!

Today is Lucia Day! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Lucy's_Day
I always get nostalgic this day, I miss the cold and the dark. All lights lit, the sound of fire in the house, big coats and socks and nice long scarves. I know everyone that lives with that for months really hate it, the winter is just too long in Europe you all say. For us, it is almost exotic - I can't think of anything I'd rather do right now than open the blinds in the morning to find the garden full of snow!!! Especially on Lucia!!
Anyway Lucia day is special, Lucia day makes Decmeber shorter and brighter. It is a lovely tradition and I miss it!
Here is the Lucia celebrations from Gothenburg this morning:

For me it is 58 blissful minutes, but I am not sure you wil be able to get through it all. If you get bored, just forward wind - there are some really beautiful songs and it's from Gothenburg Cathedral which is beautiful.
Enjoy ! Happy Lucia everyone!! x x
