I get as excited every year for the SWEA Christmas Fair at the Shrine in Downtown LA. It brings a little bit of the Scandinavian Christmas traditions to Los Angeles, and it seems like more and more people attend each year!
I honestly don’t care to much about the dancing, but I like their cloths, and it’s always nice to show my non Swedish friends what the traditional Swedish dance is all about.
I kind of forced my friends to get up there so I could take photos and laugh at them – it seemed like they had a good time though!
Aaah yes! The open face shrimp sandwich!
I love the Lucia! And now it was my friends turn to laugh at me as I was singing along to the tunes… They thought it was a little weird at first that I knew all the lyrics, but then I explained to them that Swedish kids don’t really have a choice but to learn these songs, and every little village in the country have their own Lucia on December 13th of each year.
