Where Santa Comes From

I have always been fascinated at the fact that so many Christmas stories and traditions come from the northern part of Europe, especially Santa who is said to live in the Lapland which extends though Norway, Sweden, Finland and even Russia. So today I'm leaving you with some decor images from some of my favorite blogs from that part of the world!





Have a great week!!!

  5. Awww great post! I love that first photo from Denmark! I did a report as a kid on a Denmark Christmas and I brought in little Danishes! It's always neat to see how everywhere you go, things are always the same but just a little bit different to make it special :)
