We have a tradition of celebrating Finland's 🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮 Independence day (Dec 6th) with two neighboring families. This year we met outdoors in -13°C. Celebrating our Independence day is not like celebrating the 4th of July. For obvious reasons there are no celebrations outdoors. But I remember growing up, this was a very serious holiday. Maybe people remembered wars and sorrows, losing loved ones? But now there are only a few veterans alive, and the mentality has changed a bit. But I am thankful to my forefathers fighting for our freedom when attacked by Russia several times. Finland used to be a part of Sweden for several hundreds of years until Sweden lost a war against Russia in 1808-1809 and had to give this area away. Then we became independent in 1917, when Russia was busy with the revolution. Then we had a bloody Civil War. Then we had a few wars when Russia tried to take us back.

A survival guide for -20°C (as we have today): layers of clothing and wool. Wool and wool. Wool is the perfect material because it's breathing, stays dry and keeps you warm. When you have many layers of clothings you easily sweat and it's super important that you stay dry. I have wool underwear, socks, mittens, scarf, caps (not this one), sweater... almost everything. My boots are one size too big so I can wear two pairs of socks.
@tanjaostman I always do! I'm only here for a short time, but we will be joining family for 2 julbords and will do the Lucia concert at Stockholms Storkyrka again. it's perfect right now because it's snowing everyday in the city really making it feel like Christmas.
