The Finns celebrate Christmas on the 24th of December. Our morning starts with the usual coffee and pastries then we have a traditional Christmas rice pudding. I would post a photo but we ate it all before I could. Today is going to be full of cross country skiing for some, running for others (me), lounging for many and an evening of food, sauna, presents and a visit from Santa Claus!
The above video was shot in Northern Finland and Norway during winter 2011. Make sure you turn on your audio and make the video full screen. Enjoy, it speaks for itself.
It’s a cold one out there tonight! Holy cow. Check out the feels like temperature.
