Santa Lucia

A couple of weeks ago Jon and I attended the Swedish Christmas fair that is sponsored by SVEA. We go every year to eat Swedish hot dogs, drink Glogg (which is a Swedish drink with either wine or vodka, raisins and almonds served hot it is soooo good), eat Swedish treats like princess cake, and breads, visit my mom who helps her friend work at one of the many booths at the fair as well as visit many of my parents Swedish friends that I grew up with, also spend money on many of the Swedish things that are sold at the different booths, and eat more Swedish Hot Dogs. There is Swedish folk dancing, Swedish Christmas carols, dancing around the Christmas tree, and Santa Lucia. I was so thankful I had part of that day off (as we have been working nonstop!) to attend. It is something I really look forward to all year!
