In which region does St. Lucia kick off the Christmas season, wearing a crown of 9 lighted candles?

St. Lucia (aka St. Lucy) commences the Christmas season in Scandinavia on December 13. Celebrated primarily in Sweden, Finland, and Denmark, custom says that the oldest daughter of the family, dressed in a white gown with a red sash and wearing a nine-candled crown, should wake up family members for their morning breakfast as the "Lucy bride". Light is the theme of the day, as St. Lucia Day, the patron saint of the blind, is celebrated on the shortest day of the year.
