Santa visits early
in these Northern parts
He makes his first delivery
to Finnish folk and elves.
So we say ‘hyvää joulua’
to you on Christmas Eve
For Santa has arrived here
The famous saint himself.
He sometimes comes in person
Arraigned in his red suit.
But don’t be disappointed
If he just sends an elf.
Presents for the children
Bits for the adults
Letters up the chimney
Clearly brought results.
So he‘ll be with you shortly
But will come while your asleep
Here he visits early
The kids are all awake.
