Im off to lapland for Christmas

[ShadesWolf]

Each years we try and do something a little better for my daughter, this years its lapland( dont know how we will get better than this though) , she is currently 5 1/2 and these are special times as she still believes.

Has anybody else been as I not sure what to expect, except its going to be very cold.

I will post a few pictures on my return. If I dont speak to you all before the day , Im wishing you all a very Happy Christmas.

Wow lapland - a great place. But in the winter it's not so nice - too unfriendly, harsh weather. You should bring a fishing pole and go ice fishing

I`m hoping you are aware that you and thousands of other brits are slowing down Norwegian flights by about 15 mins, ShadesWolf.

j/k of course, but you actually are

Have a nice trip.

Expect alot of forest and snow... and snow.

Try to learn & decipher the Barbarian tongue they speak there (j/k to all the Finns here ), but seriously, brushing up on a bit of Finnish isn't a bad idea to communicate with the natives. Try the BBC Language website.

Do you mean Saami or Suomi, SilverKnight?

Nah, it's unfriendly during the summer - the notorious Lappish mosquitoes, you see. In winter it's just cold. And snowy. Possibly windy.

Have fun in Lapland, ShadesWolf

Have a nice trip in Lappland Shadeswolf! Btw where are you guys staying there?Lappland is a big area and has lots of very different activities.If nothing else try the traditional Saami food like Poronkäristys = Reindeer stew or local fish dishes. I hope you enjoy the experience.
Edit: And becouse you have the little one with you,i suggest you visit the Santa Park in Rovaniemi.
