Challenge #14 in the Things you'll see everyday series. Hosted by amicus70.

Challenge has finished

O. k., we all know, that Santa is an invention of the Coca Cola Company... But I know a nice little story about Santa's hometown Korvatunuri deep in Finland. So let's start a challenge about the capital of Finland: Helsinki. Let us see your impressions of this nice town (I don't have a sample pic, but I think you have a lot of pictures....).

I feel very lucky that we were able to stop here on a cruise in 2006 - it is a beautiful and interesting city!

O.k.... So I put the blame on this childrens book my kids have... Sorry. I don't want to move Santa from his original home town !!!

Hi Amicus70,
Is it really true that Santa has moved to KORVATUNURI from KORVATUNTURI, where he has lived so far? That would be a news in Finland.
