As winter nights get longer, and we enjoy less and less light and warmth from the sun, some Scandinavian and Catholic traditions celebrate St Lucia Day with sweet breads and a St Lucia procession where a young girl is chosen to wear a crown with lighted candles to stave off the dark and share her light with others.
At this special time of year when we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we remember also our sweet Lucy and the light and love she brings to our life. We want to join with you in celebration of the many people in our lives who impart to us of their light and love. In sharing with others we truly celebrate the babe born in Bethlehem. Thank you for your friendship and the light you impart to those around you. Happy St Lucia Day and Merry Christmas!
Love, The Jackson Family
Vic, Molly, Lucy & Peter

Your treats look yummy!
ReplyDeleteI love that you include Lucy in your signature line for your family.
If I were you, I would do exactly the same.
=)
Thank you...this is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBoy that bread looks so good that I can almost smell it and taste it.

I was just going to comment exactly as 'Sue' did. I LOVE that you include Lucy in your signature line, and not at the end, but in her rightful place. You have two children right now, irrespective of where they are, and they are your family. Merry Christmas to Vic and Molly and Lucy and Peter!
ReplyDeleteYour family is a light to me. Thank you for blessing my life.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't wait until you make the trip out to South Jordan to drop of my loaf of bread on my doorstep.
I want to eat that fabulous Lucia bread. What a great tradition!
ReplyDeleteThought of your little Lucy on this day!
ReplyDeleteI want to be more like you:)
ReplyDeletep.s. I wrote you a comment in my comment section about where to find the jars and gum balls! Good luck:)
she is still living and i love how you still talk about her in the present tense because she is there...you just can't see her right now!
ReplyDeleteSweet. Love that you celebrate this wonderful tradition in honor of Lucy. Your little family brings light to us all. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteMiss Molly, my sister's birthday fell on St Lucia day. Sadly she died in her sleep of the adult equivalent of cot death (sudden adult death syndrome) coming up three years ago at the age of 41. Your post sharing a day for rememberance and grief was very meaningful to my family and I am grateful to you for it. Love from our family to yours. xx
ReplyDeleteI love your St. Lucia tradition and my family sure enjoyed the delicious bread!
ReplyDeleteRight back at you friend! Merry Christmas, Merry St. Lucia, and Happy New Year!!
ReplyDeleteHey Jacksons.
ReplyDeleteIve had a song on my ipod for months & always hear it but never made the connection to your Lucy until today, God put you in my head & I thought Id tell you about it (if you dont already know it).
Its by a band called Skillet & the song is called "Lucy"...I know...listen to it & I know youll feel what I felt, it really is Lucy's song.
Love <3
What a beautiful way to celebrate Lucy:)
