3 Today’s Santa ”Joulupukki” Brings gifts to the nice kids Has a red floofy coat and has a long white beard He lives in northern Finland Really LIKES kids Stories about Santa are based on Saint Nicholas (who was by the way from Turkey) I have to drag that old guy around

4 Old timey Santa, ”Nuutti-pukki” Not as nice as Santa Usually one or two men dressed as a goat who went from house to house asking for food and alcohol Kids were scared of Nuutti-pukki and people used to say that ”bad- Nuutti is taking the Christmas away” Later the Nuutti-pukki evolved to Joulupukki with some influences from stories about Saint Nicholas

5 Usually people do lots of things at Christmas Such as decorating the Christmas tree And bringing candles to the graves of dead friends and family members
