Merry Christmas 2015
In Finland Santa Claus is called Joulupukki, or Yule Goat and was originally a pagan tradition. The Joulupukki may also be a man turned into a goat man on Christmas eve.
The Joulupukki would knock on the door of homes on Christmas eve asking "are there any well-behaved children here", "onko taala kilteja lapsia". Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you. Thanks for reading and for all your comments. (images borrowed from the net).
