SantaPark - Rovaniemi

One of the place we visited in our summer trip was SantaPark in Rovaniemi. It looks like a big cave. You have to walk through a long underground tunnel. Then you need to buy tickets , in summer season it costs 17,50 €/adult, in Christmas season it is 34,00 €/adult. Your ticket will be valid for two consecutive days!

here is the looong underground tunnel!

here is the a small map about things you can see in SantaPark: Gingerbread kitchen, Ice Gallery & Ice Bar, Santa’s Office, Under-crossing the Arctic Circle, Angry Birds Activity Park, Elf School, Magic Train

The first thing was the Post Office:

Then if you have some questions, you can always go to Elf Info Desk, and get help!

Ice Gallery was very interesting, without a good jacket you can’t stay inside long time, so before going in, you can use the jackets they have there for visitors.

You can join to Elf School, they have timetable for courses, we joined one and watched the show. Basically it is more gymnastic show for kids. I have some videos about it, and I will make a separate video-post.

And the last place was Gingerbread Kitchen. Don’t try to buy gingerbread and glögi because it is very expensive, don’t know why!

Christmas has different meanings, for instance, to me, is not a day nor a season, it is state of mind. Moreover, it is a celebration, which includes spending time with family or getting reunited with loved ones, decorating the house inside and out, Christmas trees filled up with gifts and shopping for the loved ones. Buying gifts for my loved ones are the most important to me during the Christmas period. Although, for many people, for instance, Christmas is a time to think of Jesus Christ as a baby in a manger, at least for those who believe in Jesus Christ. Besides, the meaning of Christmas evolves when growing up. 

Lastly, for some kids and adults in the North, Christmas is a time when the question "Have you remembered to be good" is raised, which is something Santa's friends, often remember to ask themselves. Fortunately, Santa's elves have some comforting insider information relating to this puzzle. So if you have done your best at being good at your best behaviours to your parents, friends, relatives and even to people we do not know then, you rest assure that your name will be found on the Santa's elves List of the World's Well Behaved Children or adults. Without any doubt, Santa Claus is the nicest and most good-humoured person on the planet "for those who believe in Santa Claus", so to say this particular meaning of Christmas may not be for everyone.

Often, I have noticed that finding the right perspective and taking the right attitude towards things matters. For example, bad things that get thrown at me; if I do approach them from the right angle, they are not as awful as they seem. Sometimes, life comes through for me, as well! My point is if things do not go my way during Christmas, it is indeed not the end of the world, and the chances are, a mistake can just as quickly be a happy accident. The truth is that reality and imagination always come into play, but that is still left to be seen.
