It wouldn’t be Christmas without… A Lucia Procession on 13 December. And this year I attended three – with my Besties, with my Bluetits peeps and the Copenhagen Kayak event! Let’s go!
First up, Lucia on the bathing bridge with my Danish Besties, Helene and Vibeke. One of our favourite yearly traditions…
And, of course, breakfast afterwards. Yum!
13 December fell on a Saturday this year which called for a Lucia Procession with my Copenhagen Bluetits Chill Swimmers peeps.
It’s the first year we’ve done this as a group. Lots of fun on the bathing bridge!
And, of course, more yummy food to warm up after our sea dip afterwards!
I made the Mincemeat cake…
And finally Lucia Kayak on the afternoon of 13 December at 5pm. Quite a spectacle! Over 400 decorated kayaks in the canals, with thousands and thousands of spectators lining the streets. I watched it with our kids, a truly magical experience!
We watched from the Circle Bridge (opposite the Royal Library on the other side of the canal) and had a bird’s eye view.
So pretty to see the kayaks moving through our beautiful city.
Do you have any special processions in your corner of the world at this time of year?
