When: December 13th, 2011, 11 AM SLT
Who: Everyone and anyone is welcome, either to join in the pageant or to join in the celebration as an onlooker.
No prior notification or registration needed! Just be there in costume before the pageant starts walking at 11 AM SLT
Where: Swedish Embassy in SecondLife
Why:
We walk to combat the forces of darkness and the evil powers and for the return of light, warmth and love in the world.
What to wear (the eternal question): Depends mostly on if you are there as an onlooker or to walk in the pageant.
A) If you are a member of the audience - The sim is rated as General, so keep your private parts (boobs and genitalia) covered and tucked away.
B) If you want to join in the pageant there are several alternatives.
1. Saint Lucia or Saint Lucio
Full length white gown with red silk ribbons around the waist and a crown of lit candles.
A beautiful version of the gown can be picked up at my friends, designers Zigadena Gabardini and Emerald Harveys, store ZE Designs Mainstore (SLurl) (the gown can also be used for the maids and maidservants and - I should think - the star boys too).
The beautiful crown is designed by Cur Waydelich at CurWay Creations and can be picked up for free at his store SLurl CurWay Mainstore (SLurl)

Thanks to the janitor of the Embassy sims, Ms. PetGirl Bergman, free ready made outfits are now available in the reception of the Embassy (SLurl) 50 meters from the landing spot for the pageant.
After the pageant has walked - and sang a cappella (or made noises without music) - we will also witness the burning of the Yule bock, thanks to the gracious offer of my friend the designer Ms. Adrina Welders.
One last thing, remember we are doing this to have FUN!
