CHRISTMAS IN FINLAND

Christmas time is very different depending on the country. Each country has got its own traditions. In Finland people put a tree in their houses, but they don´t put balls on it, they put many different flags as symbol of Peace.


At Christmas Eve people go to the sauna. It is a tradition and later they go to the cemeteries to light a candle. They have dinner together and children wait for Joulupukki, that is Santa´s name in Finland. Children wear gnomos that night and they sing. Santa comes and tells them a story about their trip and give them presents. While havig dinner they ask for peace, love and good luck for everybody.


At Christmas day the whole family gives a walk in sled. They enjoy it a lot, they love Christmas time!!!
