We have one final stop before the polar express picks us up to take us to the north pole.
We visited Sweden today and learned:
-the celebrate St. Lucia's day which is celebrated on December 13th
-December 13th is also the winter solstice which is the shortest day of the year
-we talked about how on December 19th (today's date) that St. Lucia's day would have been in the past (it already happened), and what a short day would feel like
-children were white dresses, red sashes, and a crown made of candles
We made our crown of candles to celebrate St. Lucia's day in Sweden:
