Lucia Day is a Christian feast day honoring St. Lucy (meaning "light"), a 4th-century martyr, and serves as a major Festival of Light in Scandinavia and other parts of Europe, ushering in the Christmas season with candlelit processions, saffron buns, and a focus on hope and light in winter's darkness
Today's Name Day: Lucia
I actually have a sweet friend named Lucia. She works at Jalisco's. And has a sweet young daughter. Love them both!! 💕
Had an ok day but cold. I decided my day was a Jammie Day. Mostly rested. Bed felt soo good. Temp right now is 17F!!!!
I went outside a couple of time.s I could really feel the cold. No mail delivered on my porch.
Had an email from JL. Gracie woke MM at around 3am wanting to play. Who could say no??? She soon fell back asleep, but I got a couple of texts with photos.
Today Lindsborg celebrated Lucia in town. Both on Main Street, in a couple of churches, & the Old Mill. There is food, Swedish dancing, we have 2 Lucias --- one is a high school girl & another is a 4th grade girl. There are lots a cool crafts to buy. One lady who creates knit things is giving away something to anyone who buys something at the Old Mill. Great idea & so generous of her. Even with the cold I hope there was a big crowd. At the Mill Santa is in one building giving a talk. The Pavilion has lots of music. Super cold today. In the 20s. Brrrr. 🧊
At nap time Cinder stayed in the living room, but Kisse loves me in bed. She demands lots of petting. And at some point will curl up next to me. Love that. She often sits near me in the living room too.
Photos today are Lucia photos, Santas, Winter ones & drawings.
