The feast of St. Lucy comes every year on December 13th. We have read about St. Lucy (sometimes called St. Lucia) in the past, but never really "celebrated" the feast day. I read about some of the traditions associated with her feast day on catholiccuisine.blogspot.com/. I love that site!
This year we did some of the more traditional celebrations. We read about her, ate cinnamon rolls, and had hot tea. The kids had been asking about having a "Pajama Day" for quite some time and I decided this would be the perfect opportunity to do that, since the feast is traditionally celebrate in the morning. We just carried that theme throughout the day. We even ate "breakfast for lunch" as my kids call it when we have scrambled eggs and toast for lunch. The kids said it was one of the best days of school all year...until a few days later when we had an ice storm and they got to go outside for science class observations!
