Hyvää joulua! Merry Christmas!


In Finland we celebrate Christmas already on Christmas eve on the 24th of December.Traditional Finnish Christmas consists of sauna, Christmas food, chocolate, ginger bread, prune jam pastries, decorating Christmas tree, Santa Claus's visit and of course giving and receiving presents. In Finland, Santa Claus brings the present and sits down with the family for a while before heading to the next family. Usually, the children are asked to sing a song to Santa Claus.

Traditional Finnish Christmas food are for example Christmas ham, salmon, potato and carrot casserole, rosolli (mixed salad with boiled beetroots, carrots, potatoes, apples and pickled cucumber, rice porridge and mushroom salad. As a dessert we eat prune jam pastries, ginger breads and plum soup and we drink glögi (mulled wine). Usually there is an almond hidden in the rice porridge and the person who finds it, gets a present or a wish. 


Pure Arctic Madness wishes you all merry Christmas!
