So what has happened these two weeks... Um well last time I update it was Wednesday the fourth of December, I was at home and on Thursday I was at home being sick. Last weekend my, brother, mum and I baked "Lussebullar" which is saffron buns, but we call them "Lussebullar" in Swedish. In Sweden we bake them during the month of December and usually around the thirteenth of December and I'll tell you soon why. After we had baked the saffron buns, we went to my mum's friend who had this charity party, where she was raising money to one orphanage in India and one in Kenya I think. It was super nice!
This week has just been like a normal week. You would think that after exam week, school would be more quite, but apparently not. On this Friday morning my helper, my parents and I went to my brother's school to look a their Christmas Celebration, they were very good and cute! After school on Friday I went home to change and then I left to meet up with my mum, to first eat and then we went to have a run through on how "Lucia" would go. Ok so for the people who don't know what "Lucia" is I will explain. So "Lucia" is like a saint that comes with light when it is the darkest period during the year. Because in Sweden during the winter the sun goes up around nine o'clock in the morning and goes down around three in the afternoon. Even in some places in Sweden (not where I lived) the sun is only up about three hours a day, and so "Lucia" is very important. So I as said before it is around "Lucia" and in December we bake the saffron buns. "Lucia" is always celebrated on the thirteenth of December. It is celebrated in almost every school in Sweden. So "Lucia" comes with the light, and so one person is "Lucia" and that person has to have candles in here hair, she comes with her maids who holds one candle each, she also comes with her "star boys" who holds one star rod, "Lucia" also comes with ginger bread men and gnomes and all of them sing. We were a group of girls who made up the "Lucia" procession and then there were parents and adults who also sang with us. I was one of "Lucia's" maids! It was super fun!
