Christmas!

Helsinki in December -the Land of Santa.
  • Long Dark Days - where its still pitch dark at 8 in the morning and starts to turn dark again by 3 in the afternoon
  • Long Dark coats - a la Matrix
  • Cold biting winds
  • Slippery ice on the roads
  • Warm Glögi
  • Long movies at home
  • Contemplative quiet times
  • Red and White in every street corner
  • Trips - where the foreigners are buying tickets to go home ...and the Finns are buying tickets to warmer places (India, Indonesia, Bermudas...)
  • Snow Angels
