St. Lucia

December 13th we honored St. Lucia. I don't have a spreck of Swede in me but I've always loved loved loved the idea of the eldest daughter waking up before everyone else, baking saffron buns, and serving them to her family in bed whilst singing with her hair gloriously done up in braids.

Well...the buns took a wee bit longer than planned. By the time I finished at three in the afternoon, Steve had long been out of bed.

But. Hair braided, check. Singing, double check.
