TOM's Name Day – 24th May

Finland is one of the countries in Europe which celebrates Name Days (called Nimipäivä in Finnish).
The tradition of celebrating Name Days dedicates a name or names to every calendar day of the year.
A person then celebrates a Name Day on the day in the calendar where his or her given name appears.

In Finland, Name Days can be celebrated in the same way as a Birthday, where the individual having the Name Day will receive greeting cards, flowers or gifts from friends and family. Everyone appreciates good wishes on their day.

Hyvää Nimipäivää, Touko!
