I love this photo because it brings back so many wonderful memories. When i was in Helsinki last year i took a very similar photo but from the other end of the street. The lights are just so amazing.

Hi,
I'm delighted with this view! The real Christmas atmosphere:)

P.S. I have a question raleted to Finland, at least a bit. The thing is that I have a great friend in Finland and I'd love to write him a card is his mother-tongue - finnish. Last week I heard an amazing song on the radio on my way home 'All I want for Christmas is You' (by Mariah Carey). So, what I'm asking for is a translation of this phrase: 'All I want for Christmas is You'. Hope You'll be able to help me.
Kiitos:)

Hi, Ieva! My suggestion: "Haluan jouluksi vain sinut." :)

Ieva

Thank You, Niklas :) or Kiitos (isn't it?)

If there are no more suggestions then I'll use yours.
Just to make sure: 'Haluan' - I want; 'jouluksi' - for Christmas; 'vain' - only; 'sinut' - you. Is this right?
Thanks, again

Ieva, the answer to both your questions is yes! :)
