As the twilight of the Finnish Independence Day Eve descended, the Radientum team gathered to celebrate the year gone by and embrace the holiday spirit. What better way to kickstart the festive season than with a truly Finnish Christmas party? This was not just another event, it was an evening where colleagues became comrades, conversations flowed, resonating like a perfectly tuned signal of camaraderie, and memories were made in the symphony of laughter in the air.
A Feast to Remember
After we settled in at the venue and spent some time winding down from work, it was time to eat. The catering company laid out a spread that could make any Finn’s heart sing. Traditional Finnish Christmas dishes graced the table, from creamy rosolli to mouthwatering ham, complemented by the tastiest archipelago bread. It wasn’t just food to fill our bellies, it was a warm embrace of tradition that transported us back to cherished family gatherings.

Into the Heart of Finnish Winter
No Finnish Christmas celebration is complete without a sauna. This time we went for something that can’t be found in every household, a smoke sauna! As the gentle, smoky warmth wrapped around us, the stresses of the year melted away. For the bold and brave among us, the icy lake awaited just outside. A few adventurous Radientumians took the plunge, emerging triumphantly to find a friendly face holding out a towel to dry off the chilling water.

Trivia and Teamwork
The evening continued with a Radientum statistics quiz and rounds of Trivial Pursuit. It turns out, our team’s expertise extends beyond RF simulations to include obscure facts about world history, 90s pop culture, and even Finnish folklore. The room echoed with good-natured debates and groans over near-miss answers, reminding us that sometimes, it’s not about winning but enjoying the time together.
Moments That Matter
More than the food, sauna, or games, it was the conversations that made the night special. Away from the hum of our computers and the structured cadence of work meetings, we connected on a deeper level. We talked about our favorite childhood Christmas traditions, shared stories of hilarious holiday mishaps, and even made plans to repeat this night’s icy challenge next year, hopefully with less wind to scare participants off.

Signing Off 2024 with Gratitude
As we wrapped up the evening, warm with camaraderie and the lingering heat of the sauna, one thing was clear: Radientum is not just a team of engineers creating cutting-edge antenna designs, it’s filled with people who support and inspire each other. This Christmas party was a beautiful reminder of that bond, one that makes everything we achieve together even more meaningful.
Here’s to more laughter, challenges, and shared successes in 2025.
From all of us at Radientum:
Happy holidays!
