Sisu arranged a Christmas surprise to Otis

23.12.2024 by Mervi

One day in December Sisu and Luka were making plans for Christmas. Of course, they were hoping for a white Christmas but even without snow they were sure this special time of the year would be merry and bright.

Sisu and Luka planning

Luka: Sisu, Christmas is a time for good things. I was thinking of Otis. He’s the only baby bear in Europe for the time being. Maybe we could surprise him with something nice ….

Sisu: Well thought, old chap! Because I still have good connections with Santa Claus I thought a trip to Rovaniemi could make Otis glad.

Little Otis was dreaming of his first real Christmas. Last year he was still in the den with mama Frimas.

Sisu really have good connection because one morning his reindeers arrived to Eindhoven to offer Otis a reindeer ride to Finland.

You can meet Santa Claus every day of the year at the Santa Claus Village. Meeting Santa is a unique experience, no matter what time of year you visit us. Santa’s gift sack is always filled with good cheer, warmth, and friendship. He reminds us of a world of fairy tales and stories where everyone is welcome, not just the children.

After the long ride the reindeers needed food. Otis was glad to assist Santa at the feeding.

Santa Claus Village is located in Rovaniemi, Finland, the official hometown of Santa Claus. Santa Claus has made Lapland in Northern Finland his home for centuries, and the Arctic Circle is close to his heart because many Christmas secrets are rooted in this magical place. Santa Claus Village is a family destination with plenty to see and do for all ages. Here’s wishing you an unforgettable visit!

When you arrive at Santa Claus Village, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped right into the pages of a storybook. A moment filled with curious joy and wonder.

Even though Santa is already very old he wants to make his exercises every day. Wading in the snow is very efficient to keep him fit. Otis noticed the white snow made his fur look dirty so he decided to roll in the snow in order to get a white fur.

Ranua is only about 80 kilometers from Rovaniemi so Sisu decided to visit mama Venus and wish her a Merry Christmas.

The entry of the Ranua Wilflife Park looks very ‘Christmas like’ this time of the year.

Mama Venus was, naturally, delighted to meet her younger son again.

In the shop Otis saw some strange thingies …. he wondered if they were ‘other kind of polar bears’ because they had such nice white beards.
