A local tradition is to use the saunas, stay in them as long and you can bare and then make a quick dash for the back door to roll in the snow!! The idea of this is to do it all in the nude, crazy but fun and good for your skin!!
Apparently it's considered very rude to turn someone down if they ask you to dance, and i think it's polite to give them 2 dances.

Killing animals is part of living in the far north. It is always been like that.
