Our last stop before we get on the Polar Express was to Sweden.
-The biggest celebration in Sweden is St. Lucia's Day which is on 12/13.
-This is also the Winter Solstice which is the shortest day of the year
-Girls dress in white dresses with a red sash and a crown of candles
-Visit hospitals and sing songs as well as hand out ginger snap biscuits
-St Lucy brings presents and they leave out a sandwich for her, and a donkey carries the gifts.
We made the crown of candles.
