Finland – Xmas Sauna is a Must

Although families get together to celebrate Christmas as in other countries, how they do it is a little off-beat. This sees Finnish families gather together in saunas on Xmas Eve to spread goodwill. This sees festive scented sauna oils, lanterns and candle used to get the right mood. A key part of this tradition is that the sauna must be thoroughly cleaned before it is used. During this hot festive custom, gifts are given to the Sauna Elf and a meal is enjoyed after the sauna is done.
