how foreigners spend christmas
This time of year in winter is a busy time for Santas around the world. And there is one country where Santa Claus is the busiest, and it is Finland. At the 40th World Congress of Santa Claus, the Danish possession of Greenland was confirmed as the true home of Santa Claus.
It is said that every year Santas from all over the world have a “World Santa Clause” party, but the Finnish Santas never participate in this event, because they think that Santa is a self-evident fact in their own country, and there is no other Santa Claus. The whole country of Finland is quiet and peaceful, like a paradise. If Santa Claus doesn’t live here, I can’t think of a better place. Mommy plus Santa Claus, plus so many lakes, forests, cute squirrels, are enough to make Finland a place to be for children all over the world.
Speaking of Santa Claus’s House, the most famous and authentic one in the world is the one located on the Arctic Circle, Rovaniemi in Lapland. Taking the Finnish State Railway from Helsinki to Rovaniemi is a very pleasant journey. Cars can be checked with the train. The trains of the Finnish National Railways are very clean like those of Western European countries. Each box of the first-class carriage has its own bathing equipment. Taking the train to Rovaniemi on the Arctic Circle at night, looking at the mirror-like moon in the night outside the window, as well as the coniferous forest passing under the moonlight and the moonlight shining on the water, is an unforgettable memory in Finland’s journey. .
When we arrived in Rovaniemi in the morning, it was still dark. It’s just the dark sky in the morning light, and the certain lake that you will pass by when you drive, which makes you feel like water. The Arctic Circle is just outside the city. And at this moment, we have reached the legendary magical place: Lapland. This is the hometown of snow and reindeer, as well as Santa Claus, and the song “Jingle Bells”, a familiar song when I was a child, describes it here.
