Am having a major stress session here. 4 adults & 4 kids travelling to Saariselka on 17th December for 4 nights. Privately booked cabin and flights to experience the magic of Lapland so, all I have to do now is book to see Santa Claus. Not so easy ! Apparently our only option is to go to kakSlautanen but guess what ? It's booked up !!!!! Omg ! Apparently according to North Village they only have 4 spaces left. The lady that I spoke to there this morning said that she would see what she could do (speak to the hotel direct) and get back to me. I haven't heard anything since and at the moment, I'm assuming that it's not going to be possible. I'm totally gutted. I don't have a clue what else to do. I phoned Inghams and Esprit just to ask if it would be possible to pay locally and do a Santa trip with them but the both said it wasn't possible. Someone suggested a Santa to come to the cabin but none of us are too keen on this idea and I also think it would scare the younger children. Does anyone have any other information or ideas about where we could go or what we could do ? Aside from phoning the kakslautanen hotel direct and begging, I'm stuck !!!
