St Luica Day 2013

 
The following posts is my attempt to get the blog caught up.   I will make a Christmas 2013 scrapbook, so those posts will be very abbreviated. 
 
We once again celebrated St Lucia Day this year.  It occurs on Dec 13.  I really like this celebration because it recognizes the importance of family, discusses light and is about a girl who was very kind and giving.  The girls made homemade saffron bread and wore their crown of candles to Nanny's house to bring Auntie and Nanny the bread.  This is something that the Swedish girls do every year on St Lucia Day.  I was also fortunate enough to go to the girl's Montessori school and talk about the holiday too in their Culture Class.
