Santa is coming to town!

Sometimes it's good to live in Helsinki. You can for example see Santa. And the real Santa! From Lapland. It was today afternoon on the main streets of Helsinki. I think Santa brought with him the Northern weather, cause today it was really cold, minus 3 C or so, but also sunny. So there he was, sitting in an old, old automobile, from 30. I guess and the whole parade was kind of old-fashion. All the old cars - fire-trucks and other automobiles, no laud music at all, only his big entourage walking along with children dressed as little Santa and Angels singing Christmas carols and some jingle-bells. We had an impression, that it must have looked like that 40 and 60 and 80 years ago and nothing has changed. Only Santa has grown even longer beard. Very nice event, touching even, when you see this old guy in a red suit and you know, that this is THE ONE and suddenly you feel a bit like a little child again, believing he's real. Wanda was moved too and so excited. She waved to him with her little hand and on a way back home saying about Santa and that winter is coming with Santa.

We forgot to take our camera and so I only managed to take couple of those worse than ever shots:

    Eee, ja mysle, ze to fajny kit i my raczej jestesmy za jego wciskaniem :) na tym polega chyba magia dziecinstwa, ze mamy taka wspaniala wyobraznie i chcemy wierzyc i wierzymy w takie rozne bajki. Przeciez dzieci same sobie wymyslaja rozne historie i w nie wierza, albo tak troszke udaja, ze wierza, bo chca miec te magie. To jest fajne. A tak poza wszystkim to nasz laponski Mikolaj jest przeciez prawdziwy! :)
