The place where we become children again!
30mins by car from Rovaniemi Airport brings us to
Santa's residence: Joulumaantie 1, 96930 Rovaniemi, Finland.
I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night...~~

| Sorry reindeer, I was too hungry, and you tasted great with the mashed potatoes and berries! |
 |
| Beautiful winter landscape! |
 |
| Yea I stepped foot in the Arctic! Where the sun doesn't set during summer, and don't rise in winter! |
 |
| Our childhood friend, Rudolph the red-nose reindeer! |
 |
| Daybreak did not occur till after 7am. |
 |
| You can post your cards here for this year's 2013 Christmas! How cool is that! |
 |
| Cute Finnish Santa dolls |
Merry Christmas! Hyvää Joulua! (in Finnish)
 |
| Real letters sent to Santa all around the world! Times when we believe Santa Claus really exist and he will climb down the chimney with our presents... |
 |
| Real Santa stamps you purchase to post your letters |
 |
| Blue for the sea +White for the snow = Finland |
Personal thoughts: This place is too commercialised, and you had to queue for at least an hour with overly-excited kids to seek an audience with Santa. We were obviously too old for that.
During winter, it would be interesting to rent a log cabin and bbq some reindeer and bratwurst, with of course, a round of Finnish beer and sauna. Now, that sounds like a Merry Christmas! ~
