Travelling with an almost 8 year old who is starting to ask questions about Santa....Thanks to older school friends! :-(
We've booked to go to Yllas ( flying into Kittila ) and looking forward to doing local activities, however we know it is a quieter location and ideally do want to get out once to somewhere a little livelier if time allows, we also want to see at least a glimpse of the big man!.....There is a Santa trip to the secret Elves village near Levi.....I have read some amazing reviews and pictures look sweet, However I know my son won't be that interested in the Elf games and activities now he is a bit older, we are thinking that might even make him question Santa more.....We have seen plenty of "Elf helpers" (good and bad ) and Santas with dodgy beards over the years that now we would just be happy with a quick hand shake and picture taken with the Real Santa from Lapland!......We were considering ( possibly crazy ) travelling by bus/ Taxi ( depending on price ) down to The Santa Clause Village in Rovaniemi as our son would love to go....Question is, would that be worth it?.... How authentic is Santa - is it believable? also.... is it obvious that there is another Santa?..Ive read there are 2 different ones?
