Santa Holidays
The other story of Christmas is that of Santa Claus. Known widely by the name Father Christmas too. He lives at the North Pole, in a land where it snows all year round. This region is also known as Lapland! He lives with his wife Mrs Claus, elves and nine reindeer too! Leader of the pack and the most well known is the famous Rudolf with his red nose. Throughout the year he is preparing for his busiest night, which is Christmas Eve. He delivers Christmas presents to children all over the world; he enters in and out of houses via the chimney! Parking his sleigh on the roofs.
The most memorable holiday any child will have, and great for putting the magic back into Christmas for adults too is a holiday to Lapland, the most popular too when it comes to trips to see Santa! Short breaks and longer holidays are both available to Lapland. Trips to Lapland are the most magical of winter holidays and the ultimate winter wonderland! Located in the Finnish realms of the region just over the line of the Arctic Circle. The Santa Claus Village is the most popular of all. A holiday to the Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi can be had any time of year, but is at its most special at Christmas. Trips to Santa´s Post Office, the Christmas House, Santa´s underground Grotto and the Christmas Exhibition have got be had. Accommodation can be found in the towns of Rovaniemi, Yllas and Pallas. Day trips to Santa´s village are available throughout your trip. Many of the usual winter activities can be had from here. Husky Sleigh rides, skiing; Christmas Markets, great bars and restaurants, ski–dooing and much much more!
Reindeer sleigh rides through the woods are one of the most exciting adventures for kids and adults alike. With the Reindeer Park near to Santa Claus´ village this experience has to be taken up. Make sure you drop your Christmas list into Santa if you´re visiting and be there to collect your present on Christmas Eve before he leaves on his long journey! The Northern Lights are also a great experience and absolutely not to be missed. One of the most spectacular views in the world! Holidays to Lapland can be arranged for 3, 4 and 5 night stays. Although a little more pricey than other holidays they are a great experience and absolutely loved by all! The currency of Lapland is the Euro and getting there is easier than you´d think! Flights to Rovaniemi are available from Finnish and Swedish International airports. Why not combine a city break with a holiday to see Santa. City breaks to Oslo and Stockholm are fascinating and a great insight into the Nordic culture!
