Some snow has fallen the last two days. It`s help a lot for the Christmas Atmosphere.
Christmas is a time for families and friend, fun, and parties! It`s time traditional meals, stars, singing, decorations, twinkling lights, rocking around the Christmas tree and open presents. The best of all is Santa Claus.
We all know that each Christmas Santa travels all over the world carrying presents and good will. Everyone dream about that their wishes will be made true. Instead of waiting for Santa Claus, eager people waiting for presents can go to Norway and Finland.
Norway and Finland are probably the countries who are most associated with the Santa Claus and Christmas celebrations. That`s why so many people around the world are visiting these countries in the Christmas time.
Santa Claus is also known as Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas or St. Nikolaus, Sinterklaas, Joulupukki, Julenissen, tomtegubben, Weihnachtsmann, Saint Basil and Father Frost.
We in Travel Explorations wish merry Christmas to all people around the world! Especially I will send a warm Christmas greeting to my many friends in Finland and say: The true Santa is from Norway!
We wish you all the happiness that Christmas time can bring.
And then for every day next year the best of everything!
Let`s hope year 2008 will be another year when dreams will come true!
Stein Morten Lund, 23 December 2007
