an ex girlfriend of my dad’s had a complete meltdown back in the day because she was not picked to be lucia at some college celebration, glad he didn’t marry her and picked my swedish mother! lol!

i like to imagine that my swedish great-aunts dressed like lucia in the house on the north shore, i have no proof of this. i do know they danced around the xmas tree in that house that was lit with candles. pretty great.

i know my 10 year old neighbor dressed at lucia for a church celebration this past year.
