As Sara brilliantly described earlier about our adventures in Santa Land I too have had quite the interesting experiences with the cheery man up north.
Up in the north there are times when the weather is a bit too chilly. When you're walking the streets of Rovaniemi with your boo sometimes you need to sacrifice the warmth for the touch of your partner. But in the land of constant snow there are these really cool mittens that you can wear that keeps the warmth of both parties. how sweet.
In some of these other lovely pictures you can see Sara and Rebekah far too excited to get on the bus to Santa Land!
There is also a picture of Sara on the Arctic Circle, a photo from the Rovaniemi airport...where there are lovely testaments to the big man himself and his eight furry friends, and a picture of Santa from a TV screen that is located outside the Santa-dungeon.
Also, to see Santa you must walk through a "magical wonderland" of Santa where you are actually experiencing what it would be like to walk through the north pole into his workshop. in reality this magical land was quite scary and dungeon-like. there were creepy noises, fire and ice, a larger than life clock, and strange noises from nature. i think there should have been an age limit for the santa dungeon because i could see any child under 6 years of age being quite terrified. anyway....
Santa is a man with an economic and rockstar plan. there was no flash photography allowed while in the Santa-dungeon and our entire experience was videotaped which could be purchased later at the end of our visit. as a group we decided to buy the large gift pack where we were able to get the copyrights of the pictures as well as the video. everyone is splitting the money so all in all it was not so expensive. as soon as i get those photos i will post them for sure.
We also taught Santa how to do the O-H-I-O.
Oh and also since Santa-Land is a tourist money trap you can also buy children's letters to Santa from all around the world for a small fee but rest assured the money goes to charity. Santa is such a giving man.
Overall, i give Santa-Land an A++. it was a nice adventure after a long flight and it was fun to cross the arctic circle. i especially enjoyed the christmas music from all around the world that was playing in the court yard. AND i also enjoyed the fact that we could send post cards from the North Pole with a special Santa stamp. Be on the watch out for those, coming your way.
And to all a good night,
Megan
