Okay, so I'm the one who had the best time. What's new? I drug the kids (and Mike) to Poulsbo on Saturday for the JuleFest (Norwegian Christmas Festival). The best part was the traditional dancing around the Christmas tree singing Norwegian carols. They wove in the Swedish celebration of St. Lucia riding in on a boat and being escorted to the bonfire by Viking men with huge torches. St. Lucia was a Christian who was martyred. After the head Viking made a declaration, the bonfire was lit.
It's great to have this little bit of Norwegian fun this close to home!
