    Wha???

    But the languages on the site don't give Finnish!
    Everyone knows Santa lives near Rovaniemi, in Finland at the Arctic Circle...
    See http://www.santaclaus.fi/?deptid=8044
    (Actually, before Coca Cola got into the act in the 1930's and gave him the red coat étc, as my girlfriend understands - she's a Finn - he was a pretty frightening, shabbily dressed character called "Joulupukki". "Joulu" is Christmas, and "Pukki" roughhly translates as "billy-goat". It seems you really didn't want to meet him in the dark...)

    "...so be good for goodness sake."

    That lyric takes on a new meaning if Joulupukki is coming to your house in the middle of the night, doesn't it ?

    Seriously though Andy, if you offered to translate the webpages for them I bet you they'd post them.

    Merry Christmas,
