FINNISH CHRISTMAS -Maxim 9A

ARTWORK BY LIISA BERG

FINNISH CHRISTMAS


Finnish people believe that Santa Claus lives in Lapland. People from all over the world send letters to Santa Claus in Finland. There is a big tourist theme park called 'Christmas Land' in the north of Finland, near to where they say that Father Christmas lives.
Everybody's house is given a very good clean in readiness for Christmas. Hours are spent in the kitchen cooking and baking special treats for the festive season.
Family always stays together at Christmas.
All houses are very nice decorated. Then everybody comes to the kitchen to have Christmas dinner. At 5- 7 o’clock Santa comes and gives gifts.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
