<description>Santa Claus was in town, but guess what: Nobody could tell us what happened to the old Santa, but this one wasn't a new kid on the block either: With his appearance, freshly shaved and groomed, he looked more like a career politician rather than the real Santa.

After ten or so kilometers the group met at the Nordic Ski Center for some hot chocholate and muffins. We had a fantastic time and a great day that will be remembered by all wh..</description>
