Oh, dear... December already? Sigh. This mama has had a busy fall!
We had a lovely Sankta Lucia celebration today, or two really - one at church, one at home. Yesterday we baked Lussekatter, and today we ate it.
Peter vetoed the Starboy hat this year, so Grace did Lucia at home as a solo production, but at church Peter was delighted to dress up in Lady Martyr Drag - he wanted a Lucia crown, and a Lucia crown he got. (I made one for each kid in our small Sunday School out of garland and ribbons - while I neglected to take any pictures at all, they were plenty cute.) The kids helped to pass out cookies for the choir's annual post-church cookie fest, and then helped to collect plates, etc. after people were done. It was easy, and fun, and successful, and helpful to the elderly choir ladies hosting, so it felt like a series of wins. It was a holiday lite version of the celebration this year, although I may still come to their respective classrooms to teach a bit about the Lucia tradition, separation of church and state pending. (Yep, I'm serious, but they got jelly donuts for Hanukkah, so I think gingersnaps for St. Lucia shouldn't be too much of a stretch...)
