FINLAND-CHRISTMAS-SANTA CLAUS…Santa Claus reads letters coming in from the world in his “office” in Rovaniemi, on December 16, 2008. Rovaniemi’s Christmas theme park is in full swing, teeming mainly with families with children eager to meet Santa and his elves. In 2007, almost one million tourists visited Finnish Lapland above the Arctic Circle, 360,000 of whom were foreigners, mainly from Britain, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Norway and Russia, according to the regional council of Lapland.
