Christmas in Finland
Posted by Aurora 12.24.11

I'd like to share our Christmas Eve with you. (It's almost 2 am on 25th Dec now.)

First some traditional outdoor activities in the morning

Then some last minute shopping

Christmas tree is ready

Catching up with relatives

Relaxing in Christmas sauna

Eating traditional Christmas food

A lot of it...and some more

Am I naughty when I sneak here on Christmas Eve?

LOL no if I do it on phone during daytime. And on laptop after everyone else is asleep

Let's see, if Santa

brings any presents this year. YAY

Then it was time for a lovely walk

We took candles to the graves of our loved ones

The graveyard was really beautiful. Snow everywhere, trees were white. Sound of walking on frosty snow. Hundreds of candles in the dark winter evening.

Hmm, maybe it's time for some more chocolate

And some glögi

And some Christmas songs http://img15.

And the most important: spending time together with family

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate - and happy holidays to all atopians!

In 46 BCE Julius Caesar in his Julian calendar established December 25 as the date of the winter solstice of Europe. But the Winter Solstice has been celebrated since Neolithic times, long before Christmas or Hanukah or Kwanza or….any of the other late December holidays. So wherever you are and whatever holiday you choose to celebrate.
