Traditions

[mjlee]

Today is Lucia here in Sweden, why exactly this lutheran country has adopted an italian saint is a long and somewhat strange story. But the upshoot is that we munch on mulled wine (glögg) gingerbread and saffron buns baked into strange and pagan shapes, while watching girls (and boys) wearing long white robes and glitter in their hair singing songs

Hey lady. Haven't seen you in forever. How's the new house?

And there you are, my pretty bird :-) Been following your travails on LJ but rarely have the time to post. Miss you lots though, damn this time difference :-(

Hiya *lopsided smile* Everytime I think I might as well delete your journal link, since you are more likely to be in chat, you post. Psychic much?

Just glitter, no candles on the head? Don't tell me you no longer do that?!

Oh dear, I fear my LJ friends have not quite understood that I have not written any cards. *hides*

Sounds cool, Suede-lady! :)

Pssst ... Remind me to tell you about Jill Henselwood's trip down the Spruce Meadows bank with Special Ed in the Shell Cup Derby the next time I see you. *is all boggly*
