this is literally me every time I realize I’m turning 26 this year. I thought I’d be dead before hitting 20!!!

Happy Holidays @byesexualmonster !  This is my gift for you as you secret santa. I made a moodboard of Ideal Finnish Christmas, wrote down some essential vocab you could use and added few festive playlists to check out! :) When i think of Christmas here, i think of piles of snow and darkening days.  Frostbite making my nose red. The smell of Glögi warming up in the stove, or warm Christmas dinner. I think of programs we watch each year like the snowman, Santa's hotline and Disney’s From All of Us to All of You. The sininen hetki (=blue moment) in the evening when everything seems calm and quiet. And of course, I also think of sauna, it wouldn’t be Christmas without it!

Mitä haluat joululahjaksi? What do you want for Christmas? 

Mitä teit Joululomalla? What did you do during Christmas holidays? Minä vietin joulun perheeni luona I spend Christmas with my family.  Me kävimme   ..hautausmaalla sytyttämässä kynttilän We visited       ..the graveyard to light up a candle ..kirkossa laulamassa joululauluja we sang christmas songs in the church

Also if you are not sick of hearing Christmas songs, here are some playlists of different styles. Raskasta Joulua (Heavy Christmas) features covers of christmas songs in more “heavy” style Joululauluja aattoiltaan (Christmas songs for christmas eve) has more traditional and pop style songs

Rock Joulu (Rock Christmas) i think this one should have more rock style christmas songs, but it seems to share quite few songs with the first one. 

Rajaton Joulu (Limitless Christmas / Rajaton is also the name of the ensemble.) These songs have no instruments, just vocals. A cappella.

Vanhoja Joululauluja (Old christmas songs) the title speaks for itself, old songs kept quite close to the original style.
