Hello!
I was walking outside today, because it was really nice weather (-4 degrees Celcius, snowing very light).
BUT, there was quite dark already outside, even thought it was only afternoon! 
Hostmommy told me about kaamos (the Polar night).
It's the time of the year when the sun doesn't rise at all within few months!!!
Can you believe it, the sun is completely below the horizon so long time in Lapland in winter?
Luckily, this happens only Lapland, inside the polar circles.
But the effects can be seen here in Central Finland, too. In winter light-time during days are only some hours per day, and the most of time is dark...
Look!!! There's some kids playing ice hockey! 
Ice hockey (jääkiekko in Finnish) is very popular hobby in Finland.
Very very popular!
Then I continued walking, and I arrived in Harju. I have been in Harju earlier, too, but not in dark time. Look, there's so beautiful lights there! 
And here is the long stone steps of Harju Ridge. There's city center down there.
I think this tree looks little spooky and scary!!! BOOOO!!! 
hihi
And here are we all toys (little Sunny, Kurnau, Nyankororin, me and Phog). We are very near of the city center.
Then I saw something really nice! A Christmas tree!!! 
Oooooh, it's so big! But really beautiful with all those lights and a star 
Now I'm in the city center. I'm going to see some Christmas lights...
Beautiful!
This big star is the most beautiful Christmas light I have seen here!
Look, there's also a star on the ground... or it looks like a star. Hostmommy told me, that “the star” on the ground is a big compass!!!
Yeah, when I looked it more carefully, I saw there's a biggest arrow to show the North. Cool!
I saw many interesting things today.
Love,
Bussi
