"Lucy Light, Lucy Light,
The Shortest day
and The Longest Night”

This saying celebrates the association of St Lucia's Day, December 13, with the Winter Solstice which, under the old Julian calendar, used to fall on that day.

This day is very significant in Sweden and other Scandinavian countries. There, in December, the daylight time is very short and darkness and nighttime are extremely long, due to their position on the globe.

Lucia is another way of saying "Lucy", which literally translates to "light". (In English we can hear this connection in words like "Luminescent.”) After the Winter Solstice the days get longer. So St. Lucia is a celebration of the coming lengthening of the days.
You can see why the song Sankta Lucia is one of the most popular carols to sing. It has a beautiful, haunting melody and it's all about the long night and the return of daylight!

🕯️🕯️🕯️

“Night walks with a heavy step
Round yard and hearth,
As the sun departs from earth,
Shadows are brooding.
Here in our dark house,
Walking with lit candles,

Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia!

Night walks grand, yet silent,
Now hear its gentle wings,
In every room so hushed,
Whispering like wings.
Look, at our threshold stands,
White-clad with light in her hair,

Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia!

Darkness shall take flight soon,
From earth's valleys.
So she speaks a
Wonderful Word to us:
A new day will rise again
From the rosy sky . . .

Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia!”

It’s Okay to Be Tired — A December Reflection

It’s okay to be tired.
December arrives with its long nights and early sunsets,
a month when even the sky seems to rest.
This is the darkest stretch of the year,
and our bodies feel it,
our minds feel it,
our hearts feel it too.
Nature isn’t asking for momentum now.
It’s whispering something softer:
Slow down. Breathe. Turn inward.
Even the trees release their last leaves
and stand quietly in their bare truth,
trusting that rest is part of the cycle.
So if your energy feels dimmer,
if motivation flickers like a candle in a draft,
know that nothing is wrong with you.
You are simply syncing with the season—
responding to what the earth already understands.
It’s okay to be tired in the darkest month.
Rest is not weakness;
it is wisdom.
It is the gentle pause that prepares you
for the light that will return.
