Santa Lucia

Santa Lucia is a fantastic tradition that the kids of G-town have been doing for centuries. It is an old Swedish tradition, that celebrates the return of the light that happens at solstice. The kids hold the stars, and sing Christmas songs. The youngest girl gets to hold the special Yulevaca, which was Molly/Maya each weekend that they participated. Haley does a fantastic job organizing, and heading this whole thing up! She wrangles the kids through streets filled with tourists, and gets the kids from point A to B, while singing, and not whacking each other with the wooden stars ! It was Great fun!
