A Finland Tradition for the Whole Family

Researching Christmas traditions in Finland gave me a good gift giving idea that can get the whole family involved. On Christmas day here, Santa Claus comes to the homes of children accompanied by six elves and distributes presents.

So gather the family to visit a local hospital, church, or shelter and distribute Christmas gifts that kids dream about receiving like a special piece of jewellery. Pick out two gifts for a little boy and girl. A black graphic pendant and a glass gold necklace are some ideas of inexpensive yet exciting gifts of jewels. Your whole family will experience the amazing feeling of bringing happiness to someone’s life. It is a great lesson for the little ones and those who have forgotten the meaning of this holiday.

Children ask 51 questions about Santa Claus at Virtual Finland. Listen to the children singing classic tunes for the Holidays.
