St. Lucia’s Day
This morning Brian and I awoke to the soft glow of candlelight radiating from a hemlock wreath atop a head of golden hair, the sweet scent of saffron buns and steaming coffee, and the smiling faces of our dear children, dressed as St. Lucia and the Star Boy. The dawn was barely breaking and the house was still chilled, but warmth reigned as we all enjoyed breakfast in bed. Brian and I sat and listened to the squeals of delight and happy laughter from a room down the hall, where three more children were being served Lussekatt and hot cocoa garnished with candy canes.
It’s little celebrations like these that make life so rich. We are blessed that homeschooling has allowed us these times together, times that will make lasting memories and family traditions to last generations.
I wish you a blessed day with your precious family!
