People at the office are looking at me kind of funny with this wreath on my head. I think they believe I hit the Absolut already.

Growing up Catholic, I always enjoyed St. Lucia Day as proof that we aren't the only ones with insane festivals.

It is a good day today.

-This morning I got presents, not "Lussekatter" and gingerbread.
-This morning I woke up to happy b-day tunes, not "Song for Santa Lucia".
-This morning I woke up without my entire family standing at the foot of my bed all dressed up as that agonising circus act.
-This morning I got... let's not go there.
-This day is probably the major reason why I left the country.
Well, that and taxes, of course.

There was a Lucia-procession at work this morning of the work-mates children, and I got a nice bun with my morning coffee. Of course it also brought back the horrible memory of not being chosen as Lucia because my complexion was too dark. *grumble*
But lussekatter is yummy.

When I lived in Italy and when the electricity would go out (a common occurence), people would complain to Santa Lucia, who I figured must be their patron saint of lights and candles.

They actually call lights, "Luce".

Mildly interesting.

And this too.
