Located in Northern Finland, the Province of Lapland covers and area of 150,000 square miles, or one third of Finland's total area. The region lies mostly within the Arctic Circle. However its climate is relatively mild for its location. The average temperature in January is -15 C, while the temperature in July averages +14C. The temperature can drop to -40C in the winter and reach +30C in the summer.

Santa lives on a fell called Korvatunturi (Ear Mountain) in the municipality of Savukoski. Santa can´t live on the North Pole because there isn´t anything to eat for his reindeer there. But in Finnish Lapland a reindeer is a very common animal and it has a lot of food there. There are about 200 000 reindeer in Finland. Eagles, foxes, swans and wood grouse are other common animals. The spruce is the most common tree in Lapland. Wild cloudberry and Arctic bramble are the two most highly valued berries of Lapland. Lapland is a paradise for all nature lovers!

Lapland is home of the HOLY CRAP, SANTA! Tours, Santa and snowflakes.

There's not much to do there, but it's still better than Norway.

home of the saami/laplanders. they are the indigidious/native peoples of northern europe. they heard raindeer in the north often (not being a stereotype), they wear very colorful things for only traditions. they usally wear just regular things at normal time. it is very cold in the winter/fall and cool/warm in the spring/summer. the exact countries they are from are russia, alaska, norway, sweden, and finland. mainly norway though. acually, the saamis dont like being called laplanders. they consider it a slur name for their ethnic group. it doesnt always snow there, but often it does. they did not first come from asia, you know. they all have asian in them, but came from present-day southern europe. those people later migrated to europe after handling a trip to asia. they are the eskimos/native peoples of norway/the rest of the saami regions.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
