EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Sven Nackstrand from Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are transported to the magical world of Santa Claus Wintergames in Gaellivare, northern Sweden. The image captures the essence of Christmas as a jolly Santa Claus rides behind a majestic reindeer, gliding through the snowy landscape above the polar circle. As Santas from all corners of the globe gather for this festive event, they partake in various exhilarating activities that showcase their skills and spread holiday cheer. From practicing reindeer driving to catching reindeers with lassos, these Santas prove their dedication and love for bringing joy to children worldwide. The frozen lake provides an ideal setting for ice fishing, where Santas test their patience and skill while trying to catch fish beneath the icy surface. And if that wasn't enough excitement already, axe-throwing adds an element of thrill and competition to this winter extravaganza. This heartwarming scene reminds us of the enduring spirit of Christmas and how it unites people across borders. It is a reminder that no matter where we come from or what language we speak, there is something truly special about spreading happiness during this time of year. Nackstrand's photograph beautifully encapsulates the enchantment surrounding Santa Claus Wintergames – a celebration filled with laughter, camaraderie, and unforgettable moments shared among those who embody the magic of Christmas.
