      Finland would have a higher population if they would just get rid of Death Month.

        It’s just a name, like the Forbidden Month or the Month of No Return, all the months have names like that in the Season of Terror.

      As a Scandinavian who wasn’t familiar with Finish month names… Yeah, death month is a much more accurate name than November. Ugh.

        Finnish month names are pretty damn descriptive. Before we had Yule Month we had Winter Month as December.

        It was basically a month when doing slash-and-burn farming slashing and burning happened. Which seems to be August among others today.

      I’m no farmer, but shouldn’t Planting Seed Month and Plowing Month be swapped? Seems like an ill-advised order of doing things.

      But if you make it thru death month you get to experience Christmas cheer! It’s even colder but pretty lights!!!
