Verkar ha varit den icke helt nyktre Sinclair Lewis, vinnare av litteturpriset 1930.

Aha tack för det!
Mycket underhållande kuriosa!
Citat:
Many of them have no idea what Lucia is all about so they are taken by surprise when they are woken up by young voices singing Santa Lucia and white-clad maidens serving them coffee and buns.
The memory of Lucia with candles in her hair is probably one of the most exotic memories they bring home with them from Sweden.
But for one Nobel Laureate in 1930, the Lucia experience, exotic as it may have been, was less than pleasant. The American author Sinclair Lewis was a heavy drinker and he had reportedly also suffered from bouts of delirium.
Nobody knows exactly what went through his mind when he was woken up on a dark morning by a white-clad blonde with candles in her hair and the sounds of a melancholic song about driving out the darkness in the world with light (it was lucky he did not understand the words).
What we do know is that Lewis panicked big time. He screamed out loud and hid his head under the blankets as Lucia and her attendants made a quick retreat. It was really embarrassing, said my mother. She was the Lucia.

Jag tyckte gick för långt redan när brunetter tilläts bli lucia 
Men det här kanske öppnar upp för mina möjligheter att bli pepparkaksgubbe?
