Last night was the kick off to our Christmas party season. Somehow, they always fall on one week. So it was the first of four events.
It was thrown by the Swedish Ambassador at his home. I enjoyed peeking at all the great Swedish furnishings and decor. The big event of the night was the Procession of St Lucia. The carolers sang for a good 10 minutes, mostly in Swedish, but there were a few numbers in English. The selection of traditional carols was magical. The group consisted of spouses and staff. They performed magnificently .

This really kicked off the true spirit and meaning of the Christmas season.  I've got  English carols playing in the background now. Filling my head with thoughts of cold  weather, roaring fires, glug to drink, I wish you and yours a very, Happy Christmas!
