       | > _The Finnish Santa Claus has also been greatly influenced by

       | children in person and gives them presents, whereas the American
       | Santa Claus can only be seen in department stores. These personal
       | visits to children's homes are the most Finnish aspect of our
       | Santa Claus, and it comes from the St Knut Day's nuuttipukkis._
