Yesterday I added to this blog a link to an article about a 80 years old man who has for years been a Sanra Claus in Helsinki, was it year around. But after that I felt ill and hooeless until I removed that blog post. When I still lived in Helsinki, there were some periods when my lufe went poorly and the feeling was similar, so I guess that such Asian looking not-so-religous abd good-willing, good quality santa clauses are not good enough inflyence compared with one's lufe skills even shen stuck or ill. So there ought be no right to send such influencies to Finns.
The Santa Claus of Kirvatunturi is much better. But what really carries much better, is the Santa Claus Village kn Rovaniemi ("rovasti" means some type of Christian priest, and "nimi" means a name, "niemi" is a nose like landform of a shore) kn the Finnish Lappkand. Maybe it is more like the views in the media, kind of more supported and checked by the world, and of it's live video at www.youtube.com , see https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Cp4RRAEgpeU&pp=ygUTU2FudGEgY2xhdXMgdmlsbGFnZQ%3D%3D , a Finn maybe easier understands tgat the visitors there are not so good influence and that many may be ill or somehow lackkng some Finnish cultural wisdom. So one understands better the burdens of such a place. And the influencies from some Christmas gnome / elf oriented living kn Rovaniemi kind if carry somehow, even though the life seems to ve mostly sleepy, maybe crying, not going much outdoors, eating cookues or something of the kind, trying to do one's share for a better world. In Korvatunturi the place seems more like foreigners and other groups having tge tendency to conquer it, kibd of smaller and oyt of sight, not so clear to foreigbers why jyst such.

If Rovaniemi and Turku (Christmas peace) both have a kind of floyrishing, liked Christmas theme that is somehow well know also internationally or abroad, and that interest or theme creates some fascination also year around and not only near Christmas, would it then be somehow good for other towns (etc?) too to have their own liked Christmas theme that is somehow international too? To Espoo seem to suit Christmas gnomes and elves, or at least writing of such and Espoo has had such a reputation long, but it meaning civiliced life suited to the capital district, with an emphazis on home life, handiworks, some nature, free time, civiluced holistic view of the world which suppirts good life in the world. And Helsinki has traditionally been for objective thinking with picture of the whole, common sense and healthy wisdom of life, healthy ways of living, individuality and freedom, music and high culture, liking the nature and a citizen level society, wishing well in the wide world and raising the younger generation.
