So, Judy decided to start a new tradition in memory of Hildur and Benard's meeting while he was on his mission in Sweden. As we know, Hildur was selected that year to be the representative of St. Lucia, a young woman who was martyred because of her desire to serve God instead of marry. These processions (with attendants and star boys) go from house to house offering treats and good wishes on Dec. 13. We went to a few neighbors with Swedish gingerbread and wished them a happy Christmas.
By the way, our thoughts and prayers continue to go out to Emily and all of Erik's family. Hope his knee surgery goes well tomorrow.

Interesting! I haven't heard of St. Lucia since talking to Grandma B. years ago!
My prayers and thoughts are also with Erik today. He'll do fine!
