For two of my Finnish friends, Santa Claus made an early visit this year. The couple, expecting a baby in June, found a note left by the postman. Their “baby box” was ready to pick up. The Finnish government sends all parents-to-be a container of goodies to help with the baby’s first year. Could this uniquely Finnish tradition encourage us to look outside the box of American parenting?
