Brilliant! Thanks Kari. I'll get my homework done for the kids!

Just one more thing about this letter from Santa: the company behind the service is the official postal service of Finland, so it is trustworthy and safe.

Was going to answer "Bloody cold!" as I remember it, decided then to check official statistics from Internet.

The average daily temperature during Polar Night period (November to February) is about -17°C (1.4°F). Because the sun remains below the horizon the difference between day and night temperatures is really small.

Living in the north central part of the US, I know all about bitterly cold weather in the winter months, but at least we have the sun (when its shining that is) for around 8 hours a day. I can't imagine it being dark for 24 hours a day. That would take a lot of getting use to for me.
