‘In Search of Father Christmas’

Whether it’s the anticipation of snow, decorating the tree, opening an advent calendar or buying presents for loved ones, there are few times of the year as exciting as Christmas.  For youngsters, however, it’s the mystical character Santa Claus that really fires the imagination and inevitably prompts all kinds of questions: Does he really have a white beard and red suit? Where does he live for the rest of the year and is it cold?  What are his elves called?  Where does he make the toys he delivers on Christmas Eve?  Just how does he get down the chimney? The list is endless.

The answers to all of these questions can be answered as you have the opportunity to make Christmas come alive by visiting the ‘authentic’ Santa Claus at his home in Finnish Lapland – located deep in the Arctic Circle.  One of the resorts featured for these trips is Luosto.  The setting of Luosto is truly magical, just thousands of trees all covered in deep, deep snow…  truly a picture postcard resort, but completely uncommercialised.

It’s not just meeting Santa Claus that makes Finnish Lapland such an exciting destination.  You will delight in the beautiful, snow-covered Lappish scenery while soaking up the Arctic atmosphere and breathing crisp, clean, pollution-free air.  Each themed trip incorporates a wide range of snow-based activities, including riding a snow cat or skidoo along prepared tracks over deep snow, depending on age and experience; reindeer and husky dog sled rides; tobogganing; downhill and cross country skiing; snow-shoe walking and ice-fishing.

Also you may visit Santa’s original Post Office, Santa’s Workshop, a snow castle, a traditional Victorian Christmas market or meet Santa’s special elves Tricky Dicky, Speedy Sam, Noisy Nod and Snowy Bowy.

You can even start the fun with a snowmobile and sleigh ride on arrival from the airport grounds.  Whichever day tour you choose your day is sure to be packed with activities including husky and reindeer sleigh rides and tobogganing.  The loan of over garments and boots is included and every child receives a special gift from Father Christmas during an individual family visit.

Lapland in wintertime is an experience not to be missed.  Whether you choose to go for a whistle-stop one-day trip or a longer visit, you’re in for a truly memorable time.  Naturally the longer you stay the more you’ll be able to pack in.  If you are lucky you might get a glimpse of the Northern lights.  Whatever you see and do you will be sure to have a very special time with memories that will last a lifetime.

Joanne Cowdery wishes you all a peaceful and Happy Christmas.  Best Wishes for 2010.
