Idag är det Lucia (Today is Lucia)


And to get the right feeling here too, I want to give you all this Luciatåg or Luciatrain. The picture is linked from this site about swedish holidays and handicraft.
Have a nice Lucia.

Happy Lucia! We are not celebrating this year, instead I am taking poor AREA to the doctor for a bad cold. Sniffle, sniffle!

When I drove AREA back from the Dr this morning (she has strep throat), I sang all Swedish Christmas songs I could remember aloud in the car. "Hej tomtegubbar, Sankta Lucia, Nu ar det jul igen, Ritsch ratsch filibombombom, Raven raskar, Nu ar det jul, Glans over sjo och strand, Nu ar det jul har i vart hus, men jag forsokte mig inte pa Stilla natt." I am forgetting some, I need to practice more. Also, AREA has just been invited to be Lucia at a Swedish-American friend's xmas party on Dec 23. So we will get Lucia, but a little late this year. We are having an ice/snow/sleet storm too, roads are horrible. So far only one car went off the road in the usual place on the curve downhill. It happens several times every year.

Du glömde några,
Adventstid (kom till mitt ensamma hus), Granen står så grön och grann i stugan, Midnatt råder, Lusse lelle, Staffans Stalledräng, Vi komma, vi komma från pepparkakeland, Sankta Lucia finns i många varianter.

Här är den dom sjunger på dagis;
Ute är mörkt och kallt, inne i husen
lyser nu överallt, de tände ljusen.
Nu kommer någon där, jag vet nog vem hon är
Sankta Lucia, Sankta Lucia.
