THE HAPPIEST MOMENT: CHRISTMAS SAUNA

Best Part of Christmas? 

THE MAGICAL CHRISTMAS SAUNA ♨️

What is the best thing about Christmas? For me, it's preparing, heating, and enjoying the Christmas sauna! If I could, I 'd spend the entire holiday cozied up in the warm sauna steam. But of course, my friends and I also love the other delicious Christmas treats — potato, and carrot casseroles, Christmas fish, and all the other holiday treats!

And oh, the joy of throwing the very first ladle of water onto the hot sauna stones! 

A CHRISTMAS TRADITION LIKE NO OTHER

On Christmas Eve, I love to bring a little holiday magic to my forest friends by decorating a snowy spruce tree with handmade ornaments.  Then, I light lanterns outside my sauna door and heat up the sauna stove.

And when the first steam sizzles on the sauna stones, I know it's going to be a perfect Christmas—because at that moment, I am the happiest sauna elf in the world! 

Secure your luck with a bowl of porridge

Did you know that sauna elves living in people's saunas should always be remembered at Christmas? It is said that if you show kindness to your sauna elf, you will ensure good fortune for both your harvest and your sauna in the coming year!

Many of my sauna elf friends love porridge made from rye or barley—it's their favorite treat! But here's a little trick: if you're not sure whether your own sauna elf prefers the first steam or the gentle afterheat, place a small bowl of porridge on the sauna bench as soon as you start heating the stove. If it hasn't been touched, bring it back for the after-sauna warmth. And who knows? By morning, you might just find a magical surprise! 

Now, I'm off to gather fresh fir branches for my festive Christmas sauna steps. I wish you all a wonderful Christmas and the warmest, most relaxing Christmas sauna experience!

Merry Christmas and steamy holiday wishes,

Your Very Own Sauna Elf,
