====The Christmas is coming to the world and all is getting more and more exciting. People are buying gifts for their important ones, Pretty Cures are wearing Christmas hats, and the old ones from every family are starting to make the special Christmas eve dinners. Elfs are moving, writing the Naughty and Nice list for Santa, Rudolph the reindeer is preparing to his work, and everyone are baking gingerbreads.====

====You can tell your sweet Christmas memories and gift wishes in the comments. I am going to wish Cure Passion and Cure Peach stuffed plushies and Fresh Pretty Cure keyrings this Christmas (they are VERY rare in Finland, only little shop in Helsinki has those) and I perhaps get something else too.====

====But now I am going to tell you about Xmas in Finland.(If you are not interested just speed up to the comments). First about the whole party. The Chirstmas is one of the biggest events in the Finnish year, cauz the Finland is Lutheran coyntry. The Bible says that the easter is the biggest event of the year, but for Finnish people, it's Christmas. Stores, plazas, emporiums and shopping malls fill up of people buying presents and chirstmas grocery. The homes decorated with fake-snow, Stars, christmas trees, angels and other Chirstmas-like things. Children play in snow, making snowman and snowcastles. And about the santa, most European countries believe that Santa Claus lives in the Finnish Lapland (just like Japanese people do!), not in the north Pole. We eat traditional Xmas food in Finland. We don't eat turkey like US does, we eat ham, mashed potatoes, mashed carrots, mashed rutabagas, rosolli (it's a traditional Finnish Xmas "Salad" which includes beetroot-, apple- and pickle cubes, it is delicious!), fish, sauce, ricepour which includes one almond (the one who finds the almond gets a wish!), chocolate, gingerbreads, mince pies, and other candies. (We don't eat christmas cake!) We drink mulled wine or Finnish "Glög" which is hot served drink (usually with no alcohol) which has raisins and almons on it. The Santa Claus comes at evening (Santa is named "Joulupukki" in Finland. Joulu translates to simply "Christmas"). We sing to he (he doesn't come from smokestack, we don't use socks where he places the gifts and no-one sees him, and we don't leave cookies and milk for him simply because he doesn't come at night, he comes at evening and shares the presents).====
