Today I went to the Swedish Christmas fair in downtown la. My dad is swedish and his grandparents came here from Sweden. On the 13th of December St. Lucia comes and welcomes christmas, by wearing candles on her head(see above picture). The doll is from American Girls Kristen, she is from sweden and when i was younger i had a dress just like hers. At the fair they had lots of goods from Sweden and then they had a st. Lucia crowning(its a big deal) where one girl is THE st. Lucia and little girls go behind her. The Crowned girl happens to go to Santa Monica college and also wants to be a teacher.
