The Moomins love to celebrate! Whether it’s about a handbag that’s been found, making it to safety, finding each other or the journey home, there’s always a reason to party!
In honour of Tove Jansson’s birthday this week, we’ve compiled a checklist to help you throw a party in the spirit of the Moomins.
Checklist for a Moominous party:
♥ Everyone is welcome
♥ Decorate the party space beautifully
♥ Place tables in unexpected places
♥ Serve pancakes and jam
♥ There shall be dancing and programme, for example fireworks
♥ A speech shall be given (often by the one who gets excited to talk about their youth)
♥ Enjoy the party
