Finnish movies
Sometimes the internet can still surprise me, as was the case with these wonderful short movies I got recommended:
Rare Exports Inc 1
Rare Exports Inc 2
They’re made by people in Finland. I promise, you will see Father Christmas in a totally new light once you’ve seen these movies!
The first really good finnish home made movie I saw was Star Wreck - In the Pirkinning, a wonderful full length movie, which features Star Trek meeting Babylon 5! With comments like “Syö valopalloa”, “Taktisesta puuttuu edelleen tuoli!”, it quickly made a place for itself in my heart.
If you haven’t seen it yet, I recommend to download it from their official site. It’s also totally free to download, and if you wish to support their good work, you can also buy it on DVD, which I’m strongly considering. It also has astounding special effects, and if you understand finnish, it’s even better 
And if you don’t, no need to worry, it’s subtitled.

Hm, the father christmases from Mora (the real ones), are more docile and easily trained.
But hey, who cares, Julbocken is the one bringing the gifts anyway.

Oh? Darn! And I already ordered mine from Rare Exports! I hope he doesn’t get violent.
Julbocken? Doesn’t he just burn instead of bring things in?

I haven’t tasted his ginger bread snaps, but judging from his kladdkaka (sticky chocolate cake), the FC will be as good as a little, fluffy puppy no matter what Mika do - even drinking!

Oh yes, my ginger bread snaps can fend of the santa as easy as pie!

Haha! The right kind of julbock would be welcome
