Christmas doesn’t get completely away estonia is, because also there is a christmas of peace and love but above all the consumption hysteria jubilee. MOSTPHOTOS
christmas for Estonia, however, there are several positive aspects compared to christmas in Finland. Evening magazine gathered dozens of good reasons why christmas maybe is worth to spend near the gulf of Finland on the southern shore.
Food
Estonian love christmas food blood sausage hack beats the Finnish ham, especially when the slightest taste of Finnish ham disappears the salt water with the bottom of the oven. Estonian blood sausages is hearty and additional non-material 100% bash, especially if it is prepared in authentic Estonian way from beginning to end with his own (blood) hand. A welcome added Estonian christmas table that Russian food such as all kinds of fish, and of course blinis. Also blood sausage fads can be considered to have arrived to Estonia from the east.
Drink
in Estonia, mulled wine and the mulled wine does not impose that direction, half the force already from October. If Estonia is anything special yuletide drink so it is a clear liquor, which is taken snapsina before and after meals, and maybe a couple of times during it, too. Estonia, hearty christmas beer are high quality stuff, where, admittedly, can be like to thank Denmark and Finland, as the Estonian breweries include Olvi and Carlsberg. Home-brewed beer, namely, kali, is Estonian according to their own invention, although it reminds confusingly Finnish beer.
Commercial
Ostentatious commercial christmas mountains and flashy christmas illallisineen sickens more and more Finnish. In estonia, christmas is less commercial, which is reflected in that the Estonian waste the gift of money many times less than the Finnish. Tallinn christmas may not even notice the town hall square and the shopping centers outside, and not TV-chicken beat the swamp christmas advertising at the same rate as in Finland. In estonia, christmas gifts are more practical: the gift bags will not find a nose hair nyppijöitä and chest hair kähertäjiä, but jars of paint and radiators.
Religion in Estonia is not imposing. Estonians are extremely pragmatic and, in addition, they are the world’s ateistisimpia if not the most ateistisin people – which is reflected in the way that christmas church circumvention far considered bad at all. If estonia believes in something higher so it may be an exciting mystical maausko rocks, trees and peduncles. In estonia of course, accessible from almost anywhere in the city the traditional christmas church service, if so desired.

Although Estonia tilt even out of breath at pace, are christmas accessories such as santa claus, gifts and rosollit in Estonia still even somewhat cheaper. Santa Tallinn you will find many times cheaper than Helsinki, as the ordinary rate in Tallinn is this christmas 20-25 euros. That when I add a couple of euros, so santa is fluent in whatever languages and among them the Finnish.
More life
Estonia is not quiet at christmas time, too, completely, but delightfully, many shops, restaurants, bars and hotels are open all the time or almost all the time, albeit in a Finnish-style christmas ofcomplete blackout at is creeping estonia, too. Estonia spa in December I can skip completely and focus instead on the tropical beach life pool bar.
self-control
a neighbor with less than seems to be the more self-control than the finns. Estonia does not need to watch themselves christmas colic guzzle and slurp some barely erect permanent christmas zombies, because estonians behave in a more subdued also the christmas table. Estonian eye view, a Finnish christmas reminds a couple of days of unfettered gonna do pig, where it is a real pig, not ham, but ham around hover around the people. The estonians fit in the clothes even after christmas, too, and they’re not ashamed of christmas, garbage the next juhannuksenakin.
Santa claus
in Estonia feel like the santa claus gang are somehow more awake than in Finland. Excessive welfare laiskistaa claus gang? Estonian santa claus christmas shape from the test to the finns do themselves, because of Tallinn’s town hall square on-call (free) to santa claus to the children every day from 12 o’clock. Santa found a square of her own house and he should know few words in Finnish too.
Two christmas
Estonia will get to spend two christmases in a row, for the orthodox celebrate their christmas on the julian calendar until the beginning of January. For many in Estonia and tallinn to show that the real christmas is the orthodox christmas, because of Estonia’s Russian-speakers are orthodox christians, which in addition to estonia, arriving in the year thousands of tourists from Russia way. In tallinn, only christmas is not two pieces, but the christmas market too, there are two: the town hall square market is purely a tourist trap while the railway station Balti jaam market, the market is kotikutoisemman.
Latvian
Estonia is a shorter distance than in Finland, Estonia and latvia border region of cheap liquor stores, which a christmas party drinks to get fairly cheaper than Estonia. This christmas ”the official sleigh ride” is a car ride in Estonia through Valkaan or Ikla-Ainazissa hoarding to the Latvian pig preferably verottamaa alcohol. Santa claus, too, business must be there, and the elves are certainly in short supply. I guess you could christmas its worse to spend?
