Rediscovering Finland, the Land of Santa Claus

Have you ever met Santa Claus? I have, several times. Looking back to my childhood, it is kind of strange how he looked slightly different every year, when he paid his visit to our home on Christmas Eve. There was one year we didn’t meet him at all, as he […]
