It has been very busy before my Christmas vacation started a couple of days ago. I have been busy at work, but we have also (traditionally) been hurry with preparing for the Christmas. It is the usual hazzle. Anyhow, now it is over. It is pretty quiet here at my home, all the things are done and we are ready for the Christmas. Santa Claus is coming tonight and my kids are excited.

I am going to spend the next two hours in sauna, which is pretty normal for Finns. Sauna is probably the most important room in Finnish houses After sauna we will sit down for Christmas dinner. Later in the evening Santa Claus is coming and we will give and receive presents. During the next few days we will read books, eat much, listen to and play some music, sleep and take it relaxed. It is fantastic. I love Christmas time!

It has been my pleasure to provide you this humble astronomy blog and I hope you have liked it. I am charging my batteries now and will continue writing again in January. There are lots of interesting things happening in the night sky and I will spend my next few nights mostly outside, except the new year’s eve. You know that skywatching on 31st of December at midnight is not a good idea

I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Enjoy this great time of the year and take it relaxed!
