Stupid Peikko Saves Christmas
Story by Webmaster Etelämäki
Peikko sped off to the south. Santa mounted Rudolf and Rudolf carried him up into the air in quick pursuit of Cousin Peikko. It is a very difficult job to keep up with a Gnome, exclaimed Santa! Rudolf, you keep a good eye on him at all times.
Before long, they saw a village in the distance. There was a very large Yule celebration taking place. Its the Etelämäki Village Santa ! And look there is Donner and the others ! They're having a party with Villagers and there is Peikko, dancing in front of the fire again ! How does he do it Santa ? Its like he is everywhere at once, exclaimed Rudolf.
That's the secret of the Gnomes Ruddie and a tale that cannot be told, said Santa with a hidden smile. Santa knew the secret as he used it himself every Christmas. You see, Santa is also part Gnome.
" The Etelämäki Carolers "
Down went Santa and Rudolf right near the fire where Dancer and Prancer were having quite a time in the company of two lovely, young does. On seeing Ruddie's bright red nose on approach, the two reindeer quickly excused themselves from their companions and made tracks toward Santa's Sleigh !
They were ashamed to have forgotten about Christmas this year ! This was however, quite a big party and they were having a very good time. It was the Etelämäki Village's annual Yule Festival, but this time they were also celebrating a very prosperous year, thanks to the hard work and "generosity" of Peikko and his silver.
Donner ! ! ! Thundered Santa. I will have a word with you NOW ! Santa was quite upset with the senior reindeer. Donner knew of the mistake and couldn't look Santa in the eyes. Make ready the Sleigh boomed Santa and get those reindeer in line ! We'll never make Christmas this year ! Its just too late !
