Lucia or Saint Lucy's Day is celebrated annually on the 13th of December. This is one tradition in Sweden that I certainly look forward to (even though I do not celebrate Christmas). I remembered the first Lucia procession I witnessed at Skansen with my kompis in 2010. I also witnessed the crowning of Lucia in Gothenburg in 2013. Both experiences were magical.

As we are still shopping for julklappar (Christmas gifts), we are looking into a useful phrase that you may hear from a sales person. The phrases are: "Vill du ha hjälp?" or "Behöver du hjälp?". Both phrases means "Would you like help?" or "Do you need help?"
