In the 1970s, an old Christmas tradition was revived in Estonia known as "Jõuluvana" or "Father Christmas." This tradition dates back to pre-Christian times when the figure represented a pagan deity. The revival of this tradition in the 1970s coincided with a period of cultural reawakening in Estonia, as the country sought to reclaim its heritage from Soviet influence. Today, Jõuluvana plays a significant role in Estonian Christmas celebrations, embodying the spirit of generosity and goodwill.

How did Boston help in the Halifax harbor explosion in 1917?

The city of Boston and the state of Massachussetts dispatched a relief train to Halifax filled with doctors, nurses and medical supplies within about 12 hours after the explosion. Remarkably, they decided to send the train based on very little information about what was going on in Halifax at the time. (Most lines of communication were down.) Over the next several days, more trains filled with medical aid and humanitarian supplies were sent to Halifax, and Bostonians sent millions of dollars worth of supplies and financial aid. Haligonians never forgot the city's help. Some of the first emergency housing erected after the explosion was named after Massachussetts' governor, and in 1918 Halifax sent Boston a large Christmas tree as a gift. The tradition was revived in the 1970s and every Christmas the large Boston Christmas tree is a gift from the people of Nova Scotia.
