Ahem, I out myself <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" /> - I have an everlasting calendar: Christmas theme and 24 little heart-shaped bags, all made out of cloth. I collect small stuff I like and then search for a victim to help me wrap everything up. She then stuffs it into the bags whilst I look away. This year it's only sweets - as my favorite victim is in hospital. We had lots of fun wrapping up pencils, erasers, hair clips, ruler, note books, tiny perfume flasks, little animals made out of wood, X-Mas deco for the tree etc., though she also shook her head every time cause I was so silly with this tradition. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

No time this year - but normally I fill a 2nd one as well and then lend it my favourite friend - get it back on the 25th then.

Lucia out of my memory => a young girl with a tross of other young girls (angels?)dress up in white and move from door to door? Symbol of the light coming back after winter. Lucia-girl wears candles on her head - the girls flowers. As Lucia is very popular it might end up with a bunch of a lot of Lucia girls and not a lot of "angels"?

Übereil, am I right? Read this a long while ago in a traveller guide about Sweden.

Do you have Saint Niclaus coming on the 6th as well? Hung up your shoe/boots/socks for it?

I like X-Mas very much, as it's the time of the inner children IMO <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
