#if i'm gonna be finnishfied I'll embrace it

[bisonaari]

Alright, here's a not-so-serious guide on what ya need to do:

Step one: get a finnish flag. (Idk what to do with it but it feels like it's an important step)

Step two: light two blue and white candles by the window. (i've never done this but apparently it is a thing)

Step three: Watch Edvin Laine's 1955 movie adabtation of the Unknown soldier. While you're at it think about the veterans and the winter war.

Step four: watch people shake hands with the president. This will take a while, better have snacks. Commenting on the guests outfits is recommended and often the highlight. The media loves to do this.

Congratulations you've experienced a finnish independence day.

Alternative quests:

-Say "hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää!"

-Students' torch cavalcade

-Independence day military parade

-eat a pastry with finnish flag colors.

-Sing/listen to the national anthem.

-listen to Finlandia by Jean Sibelius

I am taking notes and I WILL celebrate

It could double as a quebec celebration since our flag it blue and white as well TWO BIRDS IN ONE STONE
