Tradition has Joulupukki (Santa) come to each and every house, apartment, and flat. Families generally rent a Santa for the evening- my host brother in my first family, Tuomas, was roped into that somehow. Got a picture too, pretty funny. This is Timo "acting" as a modern Joulupukki, who may or may not have an affiliation to a biker gang. Aapo looks just thrilled too.
Picture with Tommi and Aapo. Yeah, I do feel really freaking short. So I'm slightly above average hight in the US, about 5'11", if I'm lucky 6'0". Here, if you're not at least 6'2", you're short for a guy. Women, well, let's put it this way: my friend Hilla is 5'9" at least. And her mom is at least like 6'0".
So almost everyone is freakishly tall here. And they laugh at me when I say I'm tall for an American, or that I'm the tallest in my blood relations (I acknowledge that my Uncle Kevin and my Uncle Dave are both 6'4", but they're both by marriage).
