Christmas in Finland
In Finland we celebrate Christmas with our families or relatives. It can be a huge party or a small one with just a few people.
We believe in Santa Claus (who lives in Korvatunturi, Finland)
We either have Christmas tree, or we don’t, but we put the tree up before Christmas Eve.
Christmas Eve goes usually like this:
When we wake up, we watch Santa Claus’s hotline from TV, you can send e-mail from the web-page or call there and Santa Claus will either talk to you or read your e-mail on TV.
Then we eat rice porridge.
After the porridge we go and see our relatives or they come to our house. After seeing the relatives we eat. The traditional Christmas foods are ham, carrot casserole, swede casserole and potato casserole and beetroot salad. We also eat mince pies and gingerbreads. Then we drink mulled wine and home-brewed beer.
After dinner the Santa Claus comes and brings all the gifts. When the presents are opened we go to visit our relatives’ graves, and we take candles there. The cemetery looks absolutely beautiful when it’s dark and the candles are shining on the ground.
