We also read a book called The Tomten by Astrid Lindgren. In Sweden, a tomten is a good-natured elf that lives on farms and helps with farm chores. At night he watches over the children while they sleep so no harm comes.

St. Lucia Day
In Sweden December 13th is called St. Lucia Day. The oldest girl in each family dresses is a white robe with a wreath of candles on her head. She brings rolls and cookies to family members. The candles help fill the dark winter days with light. You'll see that everyone made their own wreaths with (paper) candles!
