Finland

Subject:   I am not sure. :)  Fashion Guy?  

Stamps:  Moomins are the central characters in a series of books and a comic strip by Swedish-Finn illustrator and writer Tove Jansson, originally published in Swedish by Schildts in Finland. They are a family of trolls who are white and roundish, with large snouts that make them resemble hippopotamuses. The carefree and adventurous family live in their house in Moominvalley, in the forests of Finland, though in the past their temporary residences have included a lighthouse and a theatre. They have many adventures along with their various friends.

Finland - Joulupukki - Sinterklaas - Santa Claus

Lina from Finland sent me this postcard via a direct swap on Postcrossing.  I sent her one with Sasquatch in the woods.  She sent me one with Joulupukki in the woods. Here in the USA we know him as Santa Claus.  When my young daughter saw the card in the mail she yelled out "Sinterklaas!"  They had learned all about him him school this year.  They even put carrots in their shoes out in the hall and waited to see if he would stop by and give them treats..... He did :)  I love the Aurora Borealis stamp too :)  Thanks Lina!
