I got this beautiful postcard from Finland a while ago. With a bit of humor the sender commented on the fact that it was still cold and snowy so there weren't any flowers like this around yet which made me smile. My Dad (who is coincidentally named Fin) brought it to me and it somehow got lost in my mess of a room and Im just finding it now. Anyhow, heres a bit about its country of origin.
-Finland is the home of Santa Claus (Santa Claus Village at the Arctic Circle in Rovaniemi, Lapland, Finland)
