Today is the feast day of saint Lucy. To celebrate this glorious martyr and to give thanks to the swedes for letting us steal their idea, I would like to show you all this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNx7iL9wi5I&feature=relatedThe danish tradition is a little different but I couldnøt find any good videos   |
