We’ve been meaning to visit our best friends in Finland for quite some time now. They live in Helsinki. We asked them for other recommendations to do there and of course, Santa Claus Village was on top of that list. We saw their pictures when they went & it’s been a dream ever since, that I never thought would come true, yet here we are.
