December 13, was Santa Lucia day. In the morning, all the classes went into the auditorium which had been decorated for Christmas and listened to the Lucia concert. Students from the school, both boys and girls, dressed in white robes and carried candles. They filed into the room in a procession, first the boys, then the girls. There were people singing all around us as some were on the stage, some on the sides, and some on the balcony above. It was beautiful! I think that it's my favourite Swedish tradition so far. The concert went on for about 40 minutes and then we were back to class as usual. 
This weekend is the big Lucia concert in Stockholm, so if I have the time, I would like to see it! For anyone who's interested, here's some more info on Santa Lucia day on how and why it's celebrated in Sweden.
