Christmas Traditions

Today we went to the cemetery to visit my relative's graves. All my relatives who has passed are at Hietaniemi cemetery. My both parents and my all grandparents are buried there.

It is a Christmas tradition to bring some candles and decorations made of flowers and branches of spruce. Usually it is at Christmas eve but nowadays we (and many others, too) go the night before to avoid traffic.

My lovely husband Timo was a little stressed and he was not so enthusiastic about me stopping all the time for photographing. Well, what can you do, I had to think about you blippers here also.

This image is from the building were the urns are (my relatives are buried at the graveyard).

P.S You might want to look at the image as large.
