  • Did you know you can meet Santa in his official home in Lapland, Finland any day of the year? You don’t have to wait until Christmas Eve! Rovaniemi, Finland is his official hometown. In this video, we visit Santa Claus and his reindeer, cross the official line of the Arctic Circle, and see his official post office where letters addressed to Santa from all over the world are delivered. It’s a super fun place to visit and feel like a kid! Marc and I wanted to make sure we were on the nice list ahead of Christmas. Santa told us we wouldn’t have gotten in if we were on the naughty list because he doesn’t waste time on them ;)

    I remember when we went to Rovaniemi to see Santa Clause there was this little girl in the line after us. She sat on his lap and when Santa asked her something in english she didn't understand and looked at her mom questioningly and her mom said her something I didn't understand. But then Santa realised (ofc he did!) they spoke Italian (at least I think it was Italian) and started speaking Italian with the little girl! And then they chatted for a while in Italian and the kid's mother started to cry like she really didn't expect that! That must have been the most amazing experience for the kid!

    the Christmas season in a beautiful way - Santa, the post office, the cards, reindeer. Watching you stride the Arctic Circle was so amazing too. Truly a happy visit and thanks

    What a truly wonderful thing this video is….A testament to the good in those that are pure of heart everywhere!
    ….66 years ago a little girl named Virginia penned a letter to a newspaper….She asked if there really was a Santa Claus….?
    The answer has become legend the world over…..
    ...Eileen….You embody that same spirit of love and purity that lives in the heart of all who believe in the basic goodness of mankind.
    YES..THERE IS a SANTA CLAUS! He exists as the angelic heart of the young…. And the young at heart…..In fact….In all who believe as you do.
    Merry Christmas!

    He is Santa Claus for tourists, for Finns he is Joulupukki (Yule bock). In the pagan age, the bock character participated end of the year festival, Kekri. They had similar traditions in the pagan Baltic and Slavic countries, also with actual white goat rather than a man dressed as a bock. In Finland the character was dressed in a fur, horns and tail, and still today proper Joulupukki wears furs instead of that Coca Cola red cloth outfit. The Yule goat made of straws that is a common Christmas decoration, draws from the same tradition, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yule_goat and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koliada
