Christmas in Finland - Niina Mäki 9c

Christmas in Finland

We celebrate Christmas in 24th December. Christmas is time of happines. The Best things in Christmas are Christmas food, presents and, of course, being together with family.
Week before Christmas Eve we decorate Christmas tree and home. Every Christmas morning we eat rice porridge. After that we go to a graveyard. Then we go to relatives’. In the evening we eat and then we open presents. For Christmas dinner we have ham and a carrot casserole.
All people in Finland celebrate Christmas differently.
Nowadays in Finland we don’t have snow, for example last year. But I hope that we have this year snow, at least a little.
I think that everybody as a child believes in the Santa Claus. When you become older, you don’t believe anymore.
Symbols of Christmas in Finland are reindeer, Santa Claus, Santa’s little helper and Christmas tree.
