Enjoy the Christmas holiday in Finland

只看楼主收藏回复

In Finland, Christmas is considered to be the most important yearly holiday. It’s a time when families, relatives and couples get together to enjoy and celebrate the ‘spirit of Christmas’ in the middle of a dark winter.

    Originating from religious roots, Finnish Christmas is tightly intertwined with protestant Christian values. With this in mind, it’s a shame that American influence through Coca-Cola ads and stories about North Pole have hidden the true origin of Santa for the wider public: Santa is from Korvatunturi – A Fjell in the Eastern boarder of Lapland.

      December in the north is guaranteed to be snowy, cold and dark. Even these three factors alone should be seen as a well rounded excuse to stay in with your family and friends, but when combined together a holiday is truly deserved. Watching television after a Christmas dinner, drinking latte and munching chocolate, while sitting comfortably on a sofa, is a truly relaxing experience.
