Swedish Lucia for Dummies

[upnorth]

Quote : " Lucia is celebrated on 13 December. Sankta Lucia ( St. Lucy’s Day ) is celebrated most commonly in Scandinavia, where it is a major feast day. Here in Scandinavia, she is represented as a woman in a white dress and red sash with a crown or wreath of candles on her head. In Sweden, girls dressed as Lucia ( Lucy ) carry rolls and cookies in procession as songs are sung. Boys take part in the procession as well, playing different roles associated with Christmas. "

Happy Lucia!

I've seen luciatåget couple of times and heard some songs like Staffansvisan or Midnatt råder (if I remember correctly). And of course, it wouldn't be fair not to mention the other fun part of Swedish Lucia - warm glögg, accompanied with some pepparkakor and lussekatter.

Yesterday I bought one which was already planted and started growing and it took only few hours for my cat to eat and demolish at least one-quarter of it.

Are you one of the animals who became possessed because you can talk and you are a polar bear I could never be a "Lucia" as it states you must like children (horrible little monster things they are) sheesh, they make me shudder

Now that part, i could embrace especially the glögg.

I bet you would have loved my version which is spiked with some vodka and/or schnapps, depending what I have in the cupboard at the moment.

@upnorth, i will just drink copious amounts of glögg and i won't even notice any children

I'm well aware that the good quality alcohol is the crucial element while trying to win people over.

And we've turned the lovely Sankta Lucia thread into Bacchanalia festivities, sorry

@Transhumana no worries! Even I can enjoy a fine vodka and specially when the children gone to bed.

My dog loves Christmas wheat! When I put it under the Christmas tree, she is constantly sneaking around it like I don't see her. When I'm not looking, she eats it.

Another Lucia or Christmas tip is that with gingerbread eat it with a slice blue cheese.

lol My sister's dog seems to prefer chewing Christmas moss to Christmas wheat. My cat, on the other hand, is a wheat fan and the designated destroyer of all the ornaments.

@upnorth Never tried that combo, but I believe it might work

It's wonderful to continue the good old traditions, traditional celebrations, we don't feel lost, alienated... the warmth, solidarity of other human beings remains with us.
