Considering his size and speed compared to the regular tomte, I reckon he could be a genetic mutation or maybe a tomte superhero. Is anyone but me reading posts this far back?

While Santa clause/Father Christmas is translated into Swedish as TomtEN, _A_Tomte is something else completely. A Tomte is a creature from Scandinavian folk lore. It's this type of Tomte that's featured in the Lucia parade. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomte Sapphire, there are no Santa clauses in the Lucia parade.

There are no holidays in India or the tropical areas, prolly since it doesn't get dark. @Andrew – They do! i have photos on my phone of them roaming the office with lights on their heads and carrying lussekatter.

I hear rumours that people in the IT department dress up and sing carols! I'm completely down for carolling! "Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg, Batmobile, lost a wheel and Joker got away-HEY!" Okay, maybe my songs are not of the "traditional" type, but they extend back to my childhood in elementary school! I’m actually interested in seeing Lucia this year.
