sWeDISH XmAs TraDitiOnS,,,


Being born in Sweden living in Toronto there are certain traditions that I miss out on not being back home during the holidays ,,,such as : Lucia on dec 13th , we all grow up w the girl w the prettiest long hair to be chosen 4this , to be the leader of the human train of people w glitter in their hair and the big paper cones on the boys heads ,,,as the Lucia you have to carry this halo u may call it of green branches w burning candles on top as u sing all the xmas carrols lol ,,no we are not crazy its actually a nice lil tradition that originates from Italy and somehow made it all the way up to Sweden ,,could have something to do w the days they use to burn witches but dnt quote me lol either way ,,join in learning one swedish xmas tradition at a time on my blog ;) ,,Oh
and best of all , u get to eat bakery called Lussebulle on this day too haha

Happy Holidays Boys and Girls!!
