That time I met Santa
The small alpine town of Levi was our base, from where you can ski, sled, snowboard, husky ride, reindeer sleigh and even laser quest in the snow! All of which would be reason enough to visit at this time of year, but I was here for something even more special and that was to meet the actual, real Father Christmas at his home.
Santa's Village was definitely the trip highlight and where we were able to mingle with elves, make Christmas decorations and (delicious) gingerbread biscuits, wander through igloo tunnels, have a nose at the elves' homes and school, and a chance to meet Santa's reindeers (Rudolph was busy, but Vixen was there). And then the absolute highlight for all, the opportunity to meet Father Christmas. I managed to regress to age 5, became a little shy and was a little lost for words when the moment came (those who know me well will understand how unlikely this is) but it was really quite magical and a lovely experience.
A very big thank you to Inghams for this lovely opportunity and for being fabulous hosts.
Inghams are a great choice for Lapland, offering great value, regional UK departures and the opportunity for longer, more relaxed stays than most alternatives. They're one of a few favourite operators that I work with - it's important to understand the different options out there to make sure you choose the right one for you. Lapland is a once in a lifetime for most so it's essential you get it right! If you are planning a trip yourself, please get in touch and I'll happily run through the various options with you.
