Hartman, Jennifer: - As a Canadian-born unto a Swedish heritage, my childhood was full of exciting tales and traditions from my Mom's country. I grew up with different celebrations and holidays that were married into the western customs. For the winter holidays, I celebrated Yuletide for nearly an entire month, baked traditional Swedish treats, and took part in Santa Lucia concerts. When I grew up I married a Canadian man from a German heritage, and together we had our Canadian-born son who we wish to raise with Swedish and German traditions. Living in Canada, I found it difficult to find English books on tales we grew up with; and I wanted my son to know the origins of Canadian traditions can be traced back to the areas his ancestors originated. I decided to take matters into my own hands. I began researching and writing my first children's book, Old Mother Frost - A Yuletide story based on tales of a deity said to have inspired the stories of Santa Claus. She is older than the oldest Yuletide story; and her role is to make sure children are happy, healthy and festive during the coldest and darkest time of year ( the 12 days of Yuletide). Since introducing Old Mother Frost to the world, I have received international attention. I am excited to grow the Pagan Kids brand. I would not have been motivated to come so far if it were not for my supporters. Thank you so much!
