In The Summertime

...when the weather is hot, you can stretch right up and touch the sky. Yep, that definitely got me singing.

Christmas Market (Julmarknad) and Lucia as Advent Traditions in Sweden

During Winter, especially the Christmas season, a Christmas Market in Gamla Stan (Old Town Stockholm) has Scandinavian artisans sell their products for the season. Also, during the 13th of December, Lucia is celebrated in Sweden and all over Scandinavia. During this day, I tried to achieve both: visiting the season’s Christmas Bazaar and attempting several times to catch a Lucia concert or a Lucia procession. I achieved almost both. It was quite a setback since all available churches in Old Town Stockholm which had scheduled Lucia concerts were sold out by the time we arrived, but we were still able to attend one before going home. It was at St. Eugenia's Church near The King's Garden (Kungsträdgården).

Focksta Kvarn (Focksta Millhouse) of Säva in Sweden

Last weekend, we were able to attend a rare event that was part of Uppsala's Culture Night (Kulturnatten Uppsala). Once a year, several cities hold a "culture night" where there are certain events in particular areas of a city celebrating this night, mostly to show the history and what is current in that specific place. There would be shows in theatres, even food festivals at times. Most members of the community take a break from their busy schedules to partake in these events. It's both educational and entertaining for adults and children alike.
