As a kid, my favorite holiday was Christmas. I’m sure it is still most kids’ favorite holiday today. You wake up on Christmas morning full of happiness and hope for what Santa might bring you this year. Imagine what you might feel like if you are literally(真正地,名副其實地) the resident(居民) of Ravaniemi, Finland, also known as Santa’s hometown. It might be a dream come true for kids, but not for every resident living there. During the tourist season, you can barely(幾乎不) move around in a supermarket because it is always packed(擠滿的) with tourists. In 2024, the city had 1.5 million overnight stay tourists, but it only has 60,000 permanent(永久的) residents. The Christmas season stretches(延伸) from October to the end of March. That is a long time to co-inhabit(共同居住) the town with tourists.
