There comes a time in every parent’s life when they must explain where Father Christmas lives. I had brought my six-year-old daughter Claudia to see him in his natural habitat: Rovaniemi in Finland, the official ‘Home of Santa Claus’.

Our base was the boutique Arctic Light Hotel. In winter, the sun sets early here. But there are things to do in the long evenings in Rovaniemi. The superb Pilke Science Centre closes at 6pm, and you can always hunt for the Northern Lights.

Other than that, hunker down – there are fires and a hotel restaurant, even if ‘reindeer served three ways’ prompted difficult questions from Claudia.
