On behalf of me and my friend - Merry Christmas

Advent Calendar Day 13 - Christmas light and buns

Festival of Light

White-clad Saint Lucia, borrowed from Catholic and Orthodox churches, wears a striking crown of tall white candles and sings ancient songs to urge people out of their winter doldrums. The main event takes place on December 13.

Thousands of girls across the country also don homemade versions of Lucia’s trademark crown of candles (kids use safe, battery-powered “candles” nowadays). Then they sing for family or schoolmates in an annual tradition that has continued to grow over the years.

The Lucia-buns are lightly sweet, buttery, and vibrant yellow from the saffron-infused dough. The raisins in the “eyes” of the rolls give them just a little extra sweetness when you bite into them.

Advent Calendar Day 10. - Christmas Mail

 Santa Claus in Korvatunturi receives thousands of letters from all over the world . This is really a busy time for Santa because all letters must be answered and gifts prepared. 

My mailbox waiting for Christmas postcards :)

Advent Calendar Day 9. - Christmas Sports

I hope the Korvatunturi Hockey Team  helps Finland to win the world championship next year.

Korvatunturi  Elf Sledging Team teams' preparations progressing well.

No Doping Girls-Team ready for competition!

Advent Calendar Day 8. - Christmas Escape

What if Santa gets totally bored to the whole Christmas thing....

and travels with his elves to some warm and distant tropical island?

Or Santa and his reindeer stop to the nearest pub .....  Don't expect to get any presents :(
