cimoreneYesterday was Luciadagen, and Carmela had just been in the preschool Lucia pageant when the House of Linux and I arrived at Casa Windows.
Brother Linux and I spent a good while making a Lucia crown for her out of cardboard, paper (pages torn from my sketchbook - good thing I brought my coloured pencils) and tape, and then Lady Linux and I made a mini triplet-sized one too. Carmela informed us that she was the City's real Lucia and that she would be tomorrow, too. She spent a long time pacing in a dignified manner and singing, especially after a red ribbon was found to tie around her waist.
At bedtime she only agreed to change into her nightgown because she could still be Lucia in it, just with a different dress, and I was commissioned to draw her in it and to make sure the nightdress had plenty of hearts on it. (Ciara, who bids fair to being the smartest member of her family, pointed at the former drawing and said triumphantly, "CARMELA!", whereupon she was praised, head-ruffled, squeezed and possibly turned upside-down.)
Loke doesn't look very glad to be Lucia.
