Stjärngossen

Tomorrow it's "Sankta Lucia", a swedish tradition to celebrate Saint Lucy/Lucia from Syracuse. Pagan and Catholic tradition in a former Protestantic country.

The girls dress up in white long grandma nighties, with a lit candle in their hand. Except for the "Lucia" who walks first in the procession, who carries candles stuck into a wreath on her head. And they sing special Lucia-songs. Boys are dressed up as either as "tomtar" (Santas Little Helper – not the Simpsons dog) or as "stjärngossar" (star lads) or as "pepperkaksgubbar" (gingerbread men). This year Elliott wants to be a Christmas tree, but I'm not sure we can fix the costume in time. His friend Oskar wants to be a chair.

At the boys pre-school they've rehearsed the songs for tomorrows procession since early fall. A few minutes ago Adrian tried on his costume for tomorrow. As a typical Stjärngosse he wears a white robe with a coned shaped star hat. and a gold star on a stick. A strange mix between Merlin and the KKK.

Christmas 1942?

I've scanned and tried to restaurate some old photographs, that doesn't have any negatives left.
I thought this suited well since Christmas is coming up. My grandmother with dad in her lap. Looking at my dad's size I think it's Christmas 1942. A nice Tannenbaum in the background.
