Up for sale is this The International Santa Claus Collection Finland Joulupukki from International Resourcing Services Inc. The gift bringer of Finland looks and behaves much like our own Santa Claus with just a few minor variations.  In Finland, his name is Joulupukki and he is assisted by a host of elves called Joulutonttuja.  These elves not only help him make toys in his workshop but spy on children during the year to find out what they want for Christmas. In 1822, from the talented mind of Professor clement Clark Moore, came one of the most popular poems ever created, "A Visit From Saint Nicholas".  And thus the legend of St Nicholas, spanning more than 1800 years, through every country in Europe, continued to flourish in the United States.  Starting with Nicholas, the Turkish patron saint of children, who gave away bags of gold coins stuffed into stockings and shoes, through Russia, Holland and into England.  Nicholas has evolved from many different appearances and an equally large number of names. Throughout history he has always provided a spirit of friendship and love, good feelings and compassion for children everywhere.  Perhaps the spirit was best expressed in the closing line of Professor Moore's famous poem: "Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night". This item features a beautifully hand painted depiction of Santa Claus as he appears in *COUNTRY* stories. This item is in good condition, with no chips, cracks or repairs made.  Comes from a smoke-free home. Thank you for supporting our small business. Condition: Used.
