Christmas in Finland

 Finland has a very peaceful Christmas.  Many in different other land do different things for Christmas.  Even I know so much stuff about Christmas in USA.  And even let's see:  peace, love, and show care.  And that's all the stuff I know about Christmas in USA.  Well, Finland is very close to Newcastle and United Kingdom.   Even we celebrate so much that we pray about the shepherd Lord of God, heaven.  We show him love and care and peace.  And we don't be mean to the darkness.  We be nice to our enemies.  We don't be mean to the Lord.  We show our mom and dad the true love.  WHAT DOES KING TUT SAY WHEN HE'S SCARED?  I WANT MY MUMMY! (JOKE)  NOW I'M GOING TO TELL YOU ABOUT CHRISTMAS IN FINLAND (MOM'S VOICE).  IN FINLAND THEY DO LOTS OF COOL STUFF FOR CHRISTMAS.  THEY CELEBRATE ABOUT MANY THINGS.  HALLOWEEN, EASTER, um let's see.  Ooh, ooh, I have an idea.  March.

In Finland they do the declaration of Christmas peace, and people who break the peace can get in big trouble.  They also decorate their trees with fruit, candles and candy.  Looks tasty!




This tree is very brightful.  Can you see the fruit and candy?  No, because there isn't any on this one.  It must not be a traditional Finnish tree!  Actually, you can't see the fruit and candy because of the lights!

In Finland, it is traditional to bring candles to the graves of relatives on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, which is very nice.  Look at this picture :-).


Well, I hope you have enjoyed this project.  Oh, and by the way, Finnish people clean their houses a lot for Christmas.  So, you better get to work!  By: Peter Ellis Griggs

  1. Peter, you are so great and funny. I loved this post. It made me laugh out loud. I hope that you are well and that you don't break the Christmas peace. That would not be good.

    ps What do you get if you cross a Christmas tree with an apple?

    A PINEAPPLE! :)
