Christmas Carols
We were singing Christmas carols with host and others. I taught them how to sing Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht
After singing we wanted to listen more Christmas music. There was lots to choose from (My host is crazy about Christmas...). Lots of children's Christmas songs and many DCs of international music, too. My host cold not choose between Michael Bublé and Finnish Tomi Metsäketo so made my choice... Everybody enjoyed Justin Bieber

Boxing Day
The most well known tradition linked to the Boxing day is "the ride of Stephen's Day" which refers to a sleigh ride with horses. These merry rides along village streets were seen in contrast to silent mood of the previous Christmas days. Nowadays some people still do the sleigh ride but my family does the ride by car.
We went to the frozen and snowy and empty harbour. Sunny and COLD. I enjoyed the views. Flowipowi, Traveling Teddy and Snowman joined me.
Next stop was in Vaajakoski. We visited Naissaari, another summer place in Jyväskylä. It was frozen and snowy and empty. Sunny and COLD. Beautiful.
And of course we went to greet the big Panda of the chocolate factory. Happy Christmas to you, too!

Christmas movies
Many evenings in December I have been watching Christmas movies. Today it was time to watch again. But there is so much to choose from...
Finally I made my choice and enjoyed

I'm coming home!
I just said goodbye to my host, to Traveling Teddy and to my new friend Snowman. Then I jumped into the envelope and now I'm on the way home...
See you soon!
