Those look delicious!
Sounds like good times! Yes, that sounds quite correct.When my daughter was 6 or 7, she read a book about a young Swedish girl from the past, and the St. Lucia celebration. We made my daughter a head wreath with green leaves and candles (unlit lol), and she offered a plate of pastries to us all. That's as far as we went.
I wish I had digital photos from then.
I have great memories of all kinds of different holidays from around the world that we celebrated when the kids were young. We would research the customs, food, music, etc and have that celebration. (My husband was a librarian, and I'm just a nerd for that kind of stuff.) I don't think our pastries were yellow on St Lucia's, but this was pre-google so inaccuracies to be expected...Sounds like good times! Yes, that sounds quite correct.
The special thing about the pastry is it's supposed to be made with saffron, which gives it a slightly yellow tinge. It didn't show too well in our lussekatter.
For dinner tonight we had punk rock chickpea gravy with rice.
