I remember when we went to Rovaniemi to see Santa Clause there was this little girl in the line after us. She sat on his lap and when Santa asked her something in english she didn't understand and looked at her mom questioningly and her mom said her something I didn't understand. But then Santa realised (ofc he did!) they spoke Italian (at least I think it was Italian) and started speaking Italian with the little girl! And then they chatted for a while in Italian and the kid's mother started to cry like she really didn't expect that! That must have been the most amazing experience for the kid!
This video was so lovely, you guys meeting santa made me teary eyed as well! You became child like again and I think that is the whole point of Santa's arctic circle village!
Love, love, love this video! OMG - I'd feel the same way meeting Santa Claus. Your response to your visit with him was really touching. So genuine. This video really kicks off the Christmas season in a beautiful way - Santa, the post office, the cards, reindeer. Watching you stride the Arctic Circle was so amazing too. Truly a happy visit and thanks for sharing with us. BTW glad Santa gave assurance that you are both on his Nice list. No surprise there!!
Your genuine excitement in seeing Santa was so sweet and touching. Earlier this year Santa was doing live streams on you tube from the arctic circle during the first few months of the pandemic. Thank you for sharing your experience and showing us the rest of Santa's village. Merry Christmas!
Yes you met the one and only real living Santa that is why he touched your inner child self so deeply 🤗 and he lives in Lapland Finland my home country ❤️
Oh my gosh I'm turning into a child watching you two meet Santa. Loving this 🥰😁👍🤗 It's like Disneyland in the North Pole fun. The white reindeer is so beautiful. Can't wait to hear what you guys are doing for Christmas. Wonderful share, Blessings, James and Kim :)
Ohhhh you guys!!!! This was the best video EVER!!! How cool to be at the Arctic Circle! Thank you sooo much for sharing! Loved seeing the reindeer and post office and especially the BIg Guy himself!! I wanna go! Would it be ridiculous for a 65 yr old fat lady to want to go see Santa??? 😄 Now I'm in the Christmas Spirit!! I was tearing up too just watching you and seeing how excited you were! Guess we really are all still kids. 😊 Love it!!Thanks again for sharing! Stay safe and warm. Hugs and prayers from Ohio, USA
I love watching you enjoy your visit to Santa's village! You remind us that we're never too old to enjoy Santa, and everything that comes with Christmas. I just wish we could play with the reindeer, too! I really love their furry noses, which are probably most useful in a snowy climate. Your video has made preparing the holidays even more joyful. Thank you!
He is Santa Claus for tourists, for Finns he is Joulupukki (Yule bock). In the pagan age, the bock character participated end of the year festival, Kekri. They had similar traditions in the pagan Baltic and Slavic countries, also with actual white goat rather than a man dressed as a bock. In Finland the character was dressed in a fur, horns and tail, and still today proper Joulupukki wears furs instead of that Coca Cola red cloth outfit. The Yule goat made of straws that is a common Christmas decoration, draws from the same tradition, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yule_goat and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koliada
What a truly wonderful thing this video is….A testament to the good in those that are pure of heart everywhere! ….66 years ago a little girl named Virginia penned a letter to a newspaper….She asked if there really was a Santa Claus….? The answer has become legend the world over….. ...Eileen….You embody that same spirit of love and purity that lives in the heart of all who believe in the basic goodness of mankind. YES..THERE IS a SANTA CLAUS! He exists as the angelic heart of the young…. And the young at heart…..In fact….In all who believe as you do. Merry Christmas!
You two radiate so much happy energy in every Finland video that it makes me appreciate my home country even more and realize that some things we see every day and don't think about all that much actually means a lot to tourists visiting here. ♥
Loved this video! It's so cool that you got to meet Santa, especially in the Arctic Circle. Those reindeer looked so chill. Their noses were so cute when they were eating.
You both are so wonderful and positive and sweet. Every nice thing that you described Santa is, you guys are. Always watching your videos gives me good spirit. ❤
What a sweet video, once again! I was laughing at myself when I started crying when you told Santa, "we all love you!" but then you started crying as well and I felt much better. I'm not the only silly, emotional one. :D
The tears I would have for the experience as well. What a Great Beard!! Its fun to be a kid indeed, forgetting about our daily whoas. Glad yous enjoyed! 🎅 Too bad you didn't have my address. Fun getting That postmark! 🦌
haha it's a prettttty cool place to send mail from, I have to say. And extra neat that you can send a letter anytime of year and it will arrive just before Christmas. Very unique. We had so much fun being kids this day. I guess you can tell how much Marc and I love Christmas :)
oh, i have been watching santa live when its cristmas in finland! outside its noramlly snowier than you could expect, some people overthink amount of the snow, but still alot :D oh and if you dont mind, i get to sleep to get energy for watching 5 hours staight a celebration in a castle, i dont know what to call it but in finnish, "linnanjuhlat".
Hey Chris! Visiting Santa would be a great opportunity to get yourself firmly on the nice list, I'm sure. ;) That's exciting you're heading to Finland soon. It's so beautiful and that's around the same time we visited. If you'd like to see more about activities and food in the area, here's a playlist of our other videos we made there: bit.ly/finlandplaylist Have a great trip!
Hihi Ainakin jotkut osaavat pitää hauskaa paikanpäällä ihan tunnelman vuoksi.Toivottavasti käynti Joulupukin luona oli se JOKIN.Teitä on hauska katsella.Teillä on homma huumorilla ja naurulla hallinnassa.Terveiset Suomesta.
@@EileenAldis you and Marc have had so many amazing adventures since I met you almost three years ago in Puerto Escondido. I am so happy for you that your plan for world travel has worked out so well. Seeing a youtube announcement of a new video is always exciting as I look forward to learning where you have landed this time. You guys take such care in making fun and informative videos -- you deserve all of your success. Xoxo, until the next one. AF
Santa has more time to visit everyone than most people think, because Christmas is not celebrated in every country at the same day and not even on the same month!
You're gonna visit SantaPark too, are you? You definitely should! They have an elf school there and I've completed it twice, which means I'm a pro elf 🤶 which means u better be nice because I see you! 👀

What are you asking Santa for this year? 🎅🎄
Didnt think of it, but why not the Winning Jackpot!
@@ginafriend1690 hey not a bad idea ;)
The newest Asterix-album and moomin-earrings.
A better airsoft mask
Actually Santa lives at Korvatunturi, but he's visiting at Rovaniemi to meet fans 🎅
My heart is still melting. I can't even. I defy anyone who wasn't smiling watching this whole thing.
Yeah had same reaction 😊
❤️❤️❤️

Fun to watch you two finding a place where you can feel like a kid once more :)
What an amazing experience. Santa's the best. So happy you got to meet and speak to him. Merry Christmas.

The answer has become legend the world over…..

Nice video. .❤ Many Finns, including myself, have never been to Lapland so thanks for the great video
Such a heartwarming video! Just a couple of big kids enjoying some Santa Claus fun! Love you both and thoroughly enjoyed this video as always! 😊💞
I visited Santa's village in 2013, it was a fantastic experience!
Awesome! Glad you had fun too :)
I'll be going there next year!
Awesome! 🎅🏻

You didn't
What a sweet video, once again! I was laughing at myself when I started crying when you told Santa, "we all love you!" but then you started crying as well and I felt much better. I'm not the only silly, emotional one. :D
Sweet video. Here's me thinking Santa lived at the North Pole but Rovaniemi will still do.
The tears I would have for the experience as well. What a Great Beard!! Its fun to be a kid indeed, forgetting about our daily whoas.
Glad yous enjoyed! 🎅 Too bad you didn't have my address. Fun getting That postmark! 🦌

Santa!🥰
Eileen is the giggliest person I know.
I know, I catch my lips turned upwards soon after she has opened her mouth.
Imagine how she was as a little girl :)
Greeting from Finland. Nice video i like it.
Thank God - SANTA Didnt Go Fishing !
Did you visit there in October, or early November? I think they have snow now.
Loved this ❤️
A great video as usual ❤️😍😍😍.. Can You do a "get to know me" video.... Please ❤️❤️
sweet 👍💕
Santa has more time to visit everyone than most people think, because Christmas is not celebrated in every country at the same day and not even on the same month!
I'm glad meet him, I guess he say me naughty lol :)
Haha he always knows! ;)
You're gonna visit SantaPark too, are you? You definitely should!
They have an elf school there and I've completed it twice, which means I'm a pro elf 🤶 which means u better be nice because I see you! 👀
When was this filmed? There's no snow anywhere.
Looking at the trees and considering it's Rovaniemi, I would guess this is some time September, maybe early October.
@@Rikitikisiki
Leafs are green so it's summer season.
@@almightybunny3320 , The leafs are mainly yellow my friend. It's the pine trees that are green. :)
@@Rikitikisiki
Okey i didn't see it! So it must be fall season then.
considering the sun is up (the amount of daylight) it's somewhere before November
👏👏👏
Greeting from india
Hello! :)
@@EileenAldis hai Eileen I am from Kerala India very glad to your response
Am I the only one who thinks Santa sounds a bit… naughty 😂
There's a song kind of on that theme 😂
I liked, a kind regards. :)
Glad to hear that :)
Did you meet him now like yesterday? Can I go there for christmas?
Stop eating when full? Damn I'm jealous of reindeers now. Got more discipline than me
Nice video again :3
Thank you ❤️
I am young new subscriber.
I like your vlogs.
You should visit incradable India in 2020.
Incredible*
Wow no snow??
No wonder this is filmed summer time.
Hey Pamela! This was filmed in October before the snow - lots of snow now :)
@@EileenAldis I was going to say so, my Mother in law lives there.
Shart claush
Suomi mainittu. TORILLE🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮
Eileen u are very beautiful inside and out side
That’s very kind of you to say - thank you ❤️
@@EileenAldis no problem
The beard looks fake.
Why would you say that? Its real
Someone once told me that not only the beard, but whole Santa Claus is fake and not real. That fool, as if I would believe a lie that big!
