Christmas in Lapland.
Santa comes to town every year for the Christmas day celebrations in Lapland. Christmas in the Nordic Countries has a long tradition in the ideal values of the home and family being in the center of Christmas.
There is over 600-year tradition in the South-West coast of Finland, at the city of Turku. It is the declaration the Christmas peace. It has been declared every year since when it begun in 1350. It was during the Swedish King Magnus the 4th.
The tradition goes like this, In the city of Turku, in southern Finland, large crowds of people gather at the main market square (Isotori) on the Christmas eve, and there have a big band playing live,and just before noon, and after the Turku Cathedral Bell strikes twelve, the Declaration of Christmas Peace is then read.
The Declaration of Christmas Peace:
“Tomorrow, God willing, is the graceful celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior; and thus is declared a peaceful Christmas time to all, by advising devotion and to behave otherwise quietly and peacefully, because he who breaks this peace and violates the peace of Christmas by any illegal or improper behavior shall under aggravating circumstances be guilty and punished according to what the law and statutes prescribe for each and every offense separately. Finally, a joyous Christmas feast is wished to all inhabitants of the city.”
The declaration has become a Finnish Christmas tradition, and it is broadcast over all the radio airwaves and on the TV stations. The ceremony ends with a flourish as the trumpets play the National Anthem. Also another hymn for the band to play is the, written by Martin Luther:
The Christmas season for almost every child in the western world has experienced the good cheer and the festivities that the make believe belief in the Santa Claus to generously reward children that have behaved well in the previous year. The super magic like character of Santa Claus that has unlimited powers to travel faster than the Google street view, and also knows more secrets that the NSA.
There are approx 526,000,000 Christian family kids under the age of 14 that are genuinely on the Santa Claus list. But the older people and the parents also get presents, if they celebrate Christmas on the December 25th, but may be some unknown secrets and exceptions, who would know the secrets of the Santa Claus. So the Santa has a busy time to deliver over 21 million presents 21 million kids an hour, every hour, on the night before Christmas. That’s over 360,000 kids a minute; and about 6,000 a second. and when Santa Claus comes to town he really does mean business.
When will people learn from the Santa Claus example.
It has been over 2000 years since the demonstrated and prescribed solution was declared to resolve the human core problems of violence, ignorance, selfishness, greed and loss of direction in life. The complete solution was illustrated step by step how to make a better world that is fair, unselfish and unbiased. Now it is a matter of life choice for individuals to learn and to apply from the greatest examples of them all. Making personal spiritual growth more important than taking away from others and especially human dignity.
Christmas spirit is all about the good cheer for a season of time when the abundance of generosity is tested and practiced for the right reasons. Christmas spirit is a projection of good will being exercised because it is the right thing to do. It was good in the past, it is good for the current community and it will be good for humanity in the future.
Christmas spirit has a positive effect on people psychologically and it has a positive effect spiritually.
There are no national barriers to the generous spirit of Christmas. It can transcend religion because it is the spirit of generosity and good will, that transcends any particular narrow world view, and it is not limited to just one religious doctrine either.
Openly accepting the goodwill gesture of the Spirit of Christmas.
The Christmas spirit can be restricted and constrained by negative human attributes and behavior that are opposite to the true spirit of Christmas.
