Sweden Christmas Tradition and Art Project

On December 13 in Sweden, families celebrate St. Lucia's Day. Girls dress in white and wear candle wreaths around their heads. The girls serve breakfast, consisting of Lucia buns, to their parents. "Star boys," who also dress in white and wear pointed caps with stars on them, follow behind the St. Lucia girls.

Art project - reproduce a candle and have children color them. Then put them on a band to go around the children's heads with the candle in the front. If you want them in white you can drape a sheet over their shoulders.
