    The videos rarely do justice to the northern lights. But we know how they look. It was special to see your reaction to them. 😊
    And santa gave Reyka a gift early. I suppose the hubby needs to comply to Santa's mandates and give her a weekly massage. ;)

      Not really, they were in Rovaniemi obviously in the autumn, you can see the snow melting off the road. In the middle of the winter, in the high season of turists, in the Christmas time there is only 2 and a half an hour daylight and waaaayyyy more snow. Also it is much more cold in the middle of the winter, like -10 to -25 Celsius.

    Nice video! Pssst let's not tell anyone, but I can tell you a secret. That polar circle line in Santa Claus village is fake. The actual polar circle is about 2 kilometers north from there but it's swamp, so the village was built there on the stable ground where it is. The polar circle also moves about 15 meters per year because the axle of the Earth is wobbling. The cycle is about 41000 years and in that time the polar circle moves within 250 kilometers!

      We didn’t have any snow boots and were actually ok. However the snow was not super high yet by that point. If you are worried about getting your feet wet, bringing boots might be a good idea.
