Tomorrow is Lucia, which is not exactly a holiday in Sweden but it's always much celebrated. It's the darkest day of the year, which means that once it's passed, it gets lighter. We celebrate this by having a Lucia procession - it's usually in all schools and pre-schools, and there are often performances in larger workplaces as well as in some shopping malls and of course, at Skansen. (Read more about this fairly peculiar custom on Wikipedia.) Me, I can't wait to see Titus pre-school's Lucia procession. It will be unbearably cute, I'm sure.
So... where do the buns come in? Not sure how then came into being, actually, but they're delicious so do make some.
