Christmas


There are many songs in Finland about husbands driving their families out into the snow with an ax on Christmas eve. Admittedly, there is a vast undercurrent of domestic violence fueled by alcohol abuse but probably no more so than in the surrounding countries (excluding Sweden of course - the haven of sunshiny people). The cliché Christmas is still not a happy one in Finland, however fervently the advertising industry would wish otherwise.

Of course, I hope no one will have this kind of christmas - it should be about appreciating the people you care about. Peace, everyone!
