I keep googling on “swedish girl image” and some other keywords, but I keep getting either NSFW results or recipes.
I think it’s a pretty famous image. It’s a painting of a young Swedish girl with blonde hair, carrying a tray of pastries. She’s wearing a wreath on her head, and the wreath has a bunch of lit candles in it.
Anyone know what I’m talking about?
I’m going to guess that it’s not a Christmas picture, but a St. Lucia’s Day picture. Is this it?
Or this?
Darn American Girl dolls for making this adult male immediately think of Kirsten…
That’s the one!
That’s not Christmas? 
Nope, read about it here.
Interesting. Thanks.
Since it’s on December 13th, I don’t feel guilty about having it as a wallpaper at this time of year.
I had that image on a tile which I put up every year, but I gave it to a friend yesterday so that she can connect to her Swedish ancestry a little more. Maybe I should connect to mine!
here is a recipe in case you would like to make lussekatter.

But thisone’s better! 
I love that movie!
When I was a kid we had a Brazilian exchange student living with us who was a bit perturbed that a saint was portrayed by a human being.
