What do you know? Far away from Europe, I got for the first time in my life the opportunity to celebrate the (swedish) Santa Lucia holiday (13th of December) 
It all started with two Swedish Friends of mine coming over to my guesthouse to bake the "Lösle brod" or however else this swedish bread is called. It's supposed to be soft and taste after Safran - our endproduct looked nice, however, was hard like stone and the Safran could only be traced by the redish color of the bread. 
At least, it had the shape of Santa Lucia bread. And after all, it was great fun to make the bread
On the 13th itself, we had a small get together, with singing...
