2010-12-11.  Big gingerbread cookies who use to have the shape of a heart. And Lussekatter. (kind of saffron bun eaten on Lucia Day (13th December). The word katt is crazy in the word because katt mean cat and this has nothing with cats to do.
2010-12-13 . We were in a shopping mall and then there came a Lucia procession. They need to go slow because you can’t walk to fast with real burning candles.
2010-12-13. They have a kind of carton under the candle to protect the hands for  hot candle grease. And Lucia had a wet cloth on her hair to protect it from burning. There are also battery candle. Children always have the when the are Lucia. There are also small battery hand candles who are safer.
