"You better watch out, you better not cry.
Better not pout, I'm telling you why.
Santa Claus is coming to town."
- Haven Gillespie and J. Fred Coots
Today was the day Santa Claus came into Helsinki from the North Pole to kick-start the Christmas spirit. He arrived on the 3B tram into Senate Square where he was greeted by a choir. He climbed the stairs of the Cathedral to join in on a few carols then proceeded to his sleigh.
Before the parade began, the lights of Aleksanterinkatu were lit. The streets were lined with people of all ages, anxiously awaiting for the entertainment. Police on horses led the parade followed by dancers with ribbons, gymnasts, dancing angels, Santa Claus on his sled (led by more horses though), an antique truck loaded with presents, and drummers.
