Joy & Fun linkup 28

Day of Independence
Tomorrow December the 6th we celebrate 
in Finland our 99th Day of Independence.
So let's take a look at our blue and white Finnish soul...

The flag of Finland, also called 
siniristilippu - Blue Cross Flag
dates from the beginning of the 20th century. 
On a white background, it features 
a blue Nordic Cross, 
which represents Christianity. 

Because of our flag and our thousand lakes
we Finns love blue in flowers, clothes, home decoration - simply in everything.

The white reminds us of our white snowy winters  and 

soft white clouds against the blue sky.

I find the Midsummer rose - Rosa pimpinellifolia plena to be very Finnish.

This might be the essence of the Finnish soul in mosaic form.

Next year is a great celebration year for Finland.

The logo above shall be seen in hundreds of events 

throughout the year.

I intend to tell you about Finland and our customs,

Kirja vieköön! continues reviewing Finnish books...

I wish you'll enjoy my company also next year!

For me December is a great month. In addition to Christmas 
we are celebrating 4 birthdays in the family and
my grand daughter goes to Oxford University for interviews and admission tests!
❤︎ I wish you luck my dear Helmi ❤︎

Because of tomorrow's celebration day
the linkup is open already and shall be open the whole week.
