My family has never celebrated it, but I've always thought it looked delightful! I'd love to observe it someday.
Thanks for the link!

I remember reading about it in the Time Life Christmas book series that our family got in the 70's - I inherited that set of books, I will have to look it up again.

We study it and the little girls made Saint Lucia paper dolls - next year I hope to celebrate it in full.
