Hello!
Today is very exiting day: Jouluaatto (Christmas Eve).
We did some piparkakku (Christmas cookies).
And then we decorated the joulukuusi (Christmas tree).
Hihii, this Christmas tree is outside
We went to joulusauna (Christmas sauna).
And then we eat jouluruoka (Christmas food).
There's for example ham, chicken, fish, different kinds of casserole, Karelian pies, cheece etc. Yummy!
And in the evening we went to joulukirkko (Christmas Church).
Then we eat joulupuuro (Christmas porridge).
It's rice porridge, and we eat it with socker, cinnamon and milk.
And very exiting thing is that there's one almond hidden in the porridge, and the person who got the almond to his plate, this person will have good luck the hole next year. (it's one kind of myth or magic thing... )
...and we eat also some Finnish Christmas desserts: joulutorttu (sweet tart made by puff paste and plum jam on it) and piparkakku (Christmas cookies).
And guess what??? Then I really met the joulupukki (Santa Claus)!!!!
It was really awesome day!
I'm really lucky to was able to spend Christmas in the homecountry of Santa Claus!
I hope you have had a great Christmas, too!
Love,
Bussi
