(Mmmm, the rolls were good.)

Edited to add: check out what [livejournal.com profile] mrissa has to say about Santa Lucia day here. She includes her recipe for lussekatter, the traditional buns served on Santa Lucia Day.

Yay, Santa Lucia Day!

That makes me nostalgic for the robe and candles. It was a bittersweet day when I figured out I'd worn them for the last time.

As a younger daughter, I am so pleased to see that you don't adhere rigidly to the oldest-daughter tradition. (Fiona wore the wreath last year, right?)

I second this. Being a Swede myself, I had to really stop and think about this one.

Yes, Fiona did last year. I was pleased to see that they chose to give Delia the opportunity this year. That was their decision.

Great pictures! We didn't celebrate Santa Lucia (we always said Santa Lucia the Italian way, never St. Lucia) until my sister became interested. Prior to that, I think my Norwegian mother made a point not to follow a Swedish tradition.

Like Delia, my sister is the younger one. She got the honors because today is her birthday, and I was too old, anyway.

Your daughters are so beautiful! I love seeing the updated pictures.

The bread looks yummy!

Yay! Happy Santa Lucia Day!

(I'm going to show the pictures to Meg; she is fascinated by the concept but not quite ready to don the wreath and red sash yet...)

A Happy Santa Lucia Day and a God Jul to you and yours, as well, Peg. We don't keep the wake-up ceremony at our house, but my grandmother's candle chimes will be tinkling merrily in the background at dinner tonight, and my dahla horses will be the centerpiece at the table.
