@sinbach wow! Must be made for blondes!

@sinbach 😂 Thank you for setting the record straight!

@sinbach The thing is, we DO have Lucia in Finland, but it's a Swedish tradition, so Finland's official Lucia use to be a Swedish speaking Finn. At Christmas and Midsummer etc we recognize different traditions between the two language groups. The Lucia songs are Swedish. Here you see this year's Lucia. She is super blonde and pretty. I've got an impression that you like blondes. 😀😉https://www.folkhalsan.fi/nyheter/2021/november/finlands-lucia-2021/

@sinbach tack!

@famine thanks!

@Olamide love it!

A walk in our neighborhood before sauna with my family (everybody's got a sauna in their home). @sinbach I bet you're gonna miss Scandinavia at Christmas. 😉

My phone can't capture what the eyes see... would need a real system camera. These views would be great Christmas cards. 🎄 All of Finland doesn't look like this... a 10 min ride from our village is the city center with concrete buildings.

#censorship by the big platforms. They just delete tons of videos and articles. Not because they are false, but because they tell the truth. How sick isn't it? Luckily you find @thetruthaboutvaccines and @thetruthaboutcancer here! These screenshots are from Telegram.

@bethany 🙏

@bethany @sinbach Ok! I am a gatekeeper, so I keep my thumbs up I will get them too!

@bethany @sinbach perfect! Then it won't take an eternity, I hope.

It contains links to 500+ primary sources. (I haven't investigated the site yet, but will when I have time).

@sinbach @bethany I'm sorry, one more question. I can't find the decoration that's in your picture in the webshop. I searched store -> Christmas products. It's not there. But my heart started beating when I saw how cheap the books are! I've got some of them in Swedish... but I could buy them anyway. Hope the shipping fee is reasonable if I buy many books.

@bethany or @sinbach are the products shipped from UK, US or Canada? I own some of the books, but I have never ordered directly from the BTJ webshop.

@sinbach I understand!

@bethany I feel I need to order it too! 😀 Hope it's not too late to get it all the way here before Christmas...

@sinbach yes, it's so beautiful! ❤️ And uniquely Swedish - not translated from English like so many hymns. You almost made me cry writing about your feelings and your tradition while I was listening to it, looking out the window watching the snowfall and the calm white landscape outside! "Glans över vita skogar." Will you be able to celebrate Christmas in Sweden?

@sinbach great to hear that you love her too!
