Will you be in Helsinki on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day ? The reason why I ask is that IESAF ( International English Speakers Association of Finland ) arranges a Christmas Meal Meetup on Christmas Eve starting at 3pm and Helsinki Expat Meetup arranges a Christmas Social on Christmas Day starting at 6pm ! The events are not only for expats ! Finns, tourists and visitors to Helsinki are also welcome ! There is no participation fee, everybody just pays their own expenses !

I know that links are not allowed on this forum. If you would like to take a closer look at the events send me a private message and I will give you two links. You need to RSVP to the events, for table reservation purposes ! When you click on the links you will come to a page which allows you to see how people have RSVP´d so far ! You will also get to see the event descriptions.

The events are really great ! We the organizers are not making any money out of these events ! We know that there are in Helsinki a lot of people who can not fly to their home countries to celebrate Christmas and other people will be lonely for other reasons. We are just trying to help !

Iesaf Christmas Meal Meat Up has right now 35 confirmed guests + 47 people say they may be attending.

Christmas Day Social at Villi Wäinö has right now 17 confirmed guest + 71 people say they may be attending.

If you google "Iesaf Christmas Meal Meat Up" and "Christmas Day Social at Villi Wäinö" you will find the two events !

You can also send a private message to me and I will give you the links to the events.
