St. Lucy's Day

Obviously, we've been a little busy around here lately! Between caring for a newborn, recovering from mastitis / infections, and the craziness that is this time of year, I have had to take a little break from homeschooling. Fortunately, I had some planned vacation time already built in to the schedule for the holidays, so we haven't lost too much time.

Speaking of holidays, we have been reading about holiday traditions around the world. Last week, we celebrated St. Lucia's, or St. Lucy's, Day, which is on December 13th. As you can imagine, Lucy was especially excited about this holiday. She even dressed up in the traditional costume (minus the crown of candles... fire hazard...). I think she made an adorable St. Lucy!

There are so many incredible books about Christmas traditions around the world. We have been reading this one and love it so much. 

Happy Advent Season!
