Christmas in Porvoo, Finland - 24th December 2009

By: FosterCareHome

Merry Christmas from snowy Finland!

It's Christmas Eve! The day Finns celebrate Christmas. In the morning we had rice porridge (a tradition), for lunch/dinner we had traditional ham and casseroles (gratins) etc. I spent this Christmas with Gary Boldie, Leonard, Hueso, Banyo and FoxForce.

In this link, you'll find some traditional Finnish Christmas recipes

Later in the evening Santa came for a visit! He brought us some gifts as well. We all got "stamp magnets"! Mine has a Finnish flag stamp on it

The rest of the night we ate some more - also and especially candy :rolleyes: My host had got us a box of Finnish chocolate. We didn't leave much for the next day...

Merry Christmas everyone! Iloista joulua!
