The answer to yesterdays question - "What is the date for St. Lucys (Lucia) day in Denmark?" is 13th December...well done Lisa and Angie!!
St Lucia was a young Christian girl who was martyred, killed for her faith, in 304AD. The most common story told about St Lucia is that she would secretly bring food to the persecuted Christians in Rome, who lived in hiding in the catacombs under the city. She would wear candles on her head so she had both her hands free to carry things. Lucy means 'light' so this is a very appropriate name.
Now for todays question: "Which Christmas carol does the following sentence come from....Brightly shone the moon that night though the frost was cruel?"
So today I went shopping again!! haha
This time I was looking for something to wear at my works Christmas dinner tomorrow evening. I found nothing!! The style that is out is just not me! Looks like I´ll be wearing my boring black pants and some sort of blouse!! (Must check out what Sara has hidden in her wardrobe - doubt that I can fit it though!! haha - just wishful thinking!)
Then this evening it was up to church. Leah had a dress rehersal. Tomorrow the kids from the church are preforming a musical about the Christmas story. All those involved have invited their class to come and see the musical, so around 120 kids will be their tomorrow. Leah cant wait and is excited that she got the day off school. Her classmates will be there to see her. On Saturday they will preform for family and friends.
Thought I would let you see a picture of our Christmas tree at work....we acutally dont have room for a Christmas tree in the room where we hold our breaks, but that doesnt stop us. We chopped the tree in half and stuck it up in the ceiling!! hahahaha
We finally got it decorated, so now all our breaks are taken in half darkness, cause we turn off the "big" lights and we turn on the Christmas tree lights. Then we light lots of candles around the place! We sure know how to be cosy!

Good King Wenceslas looked out
On the feast of Stephen
When the snow lay round about
Deep and crisp and even
Brightly shone the moon that night
Though the frost was cruel
When a poor man came in sight
Gath'ring winter fuel
One of my favourites!!
