Today was the last travel day before we celebrate with our Polar Express Party. We traveled to Sweden. We learned that:
1. The biggest celebration in Sweden is St. Lucia's Day which is on 12/13.
2. This is also the Winter Solstice which is the shortest day of the year
3. Girls dress in white dresses with a red sash and a crown of candles
4. Visit hospitals and sing songs as well as hand out ginger snap biscuits
5. St Lucy brings presents and they leave out a sandwich for her, and a donkey carries the gifts.
We made a crown of candles to remember our time.
