Christmas in Finland is always a good idea!!! I may be a bit biased though as I'm from Finland :)). In all seriousness, a trip to Lapland and Santa's village is definitely an experience even if the kids no longer believe in Santa. There are number of other things to do & see, such as husky rides etc. as well. Hope you have a lovely time if you decide to go!
Took older when she was 4 and I'd say she was barely old enough that time. She coped and enjoyed it (but was terrified of the huskies) but there were other small children who never adapted to the cold and cried all day.... We went again when they were 6 and 9 (one of the overnight trips) and that was fantastic. We did the husky and sleigh rides, an amazing walk up a snowy path through the forest just in time to reach the top as the light came up, tobogganing, and meeting with Father Christmas, of course. The 9 yr old was sceptical but prepared to go with the flow and the younger one went for the whole thing.

    • But is it the Village councillors who are maintaining the board, or someone else? When the boards in East Dulwich were installed, it wasn't the councillors who kept the information up to date, it was Monica from Health Matters, who was greatly involved in various  community matters (eg the building of the community garden at what was then Dulwich Hospital). I can't remember if it was her who initiated the installation of the boards in the first place. She no longer lives in East Dulwich, and nobody else appears to be willing to liaise with the councillors and community related organisations  to take this on for the various East Dulwich boards.  It would hardly take much effort. Basic information doesn't frequently change (and no, I'm not volunteering. I am overstretched as it is). It's all very well to  get a physical  community notice board spruced up, but not much use if it then isn't being used for its intended purpose. And I can't see that it is part of a councillor's job to update notice boards which they didn't initiate in the first place. I'm sure they have more than enough to do.  The notice boards serve (or did do) a useful service, but all the information which could be put on them is surely available elsewhere. (Unless it is bringing to people's attention things which are of use/interest to them and they weren't aware they needed/would like, or didn't know how else to find the information). ETA: Oh. I've just read the beginning of this thread. I'd forgotten how it started. It's gone well off topic, hasn't it. Probably just as well, reading the OP.
    • The board in the Village (just near the pub) is in pristine condition, full of council-related information (though someone had stuck a flyer on the glass, now removed). Maybe the councillors there actually CBA to make use of a facility that took time, effort and taxpayers’ money to instal?
