Here's a particularly Finnish classified ad:

Kokenut raitis autoileva Joulupukki kera tontun.

Experienced sober driving Santa Claus with an elf.

My partner tells me that one year a hired Santa turned up drunk at their house, hit on her grandma and refused to leave, so I guess you need to specify!

For those of you that don't know, Santa appears in-person in Finnish houses, there's a song, and he hands out gifts. And so the kids don't recognise him there's a business of Santas for hire!

Joulukalenteri - luukku 21

Joulupukki

In Finnish Santa Claus is called Joulupukki, literally Christmas (male) goat. What's up with that?

The name joulupukki comes from an old tradition of young men dressing up in goat skin and horns after christmas and wandering from house to house asking for christmas leftovers like food or beer. This tradition is called nuuttipukki (the last day of joulu/yule time in the pagan calendar is called Nuutinpäivä) and they did not bring presents of any kind. The tradition of a present giving christmas figure from central Europe probably got mixed up with the traditional Finnish nuuttipukki with time, and the idea of an old man giving gifts became an important part of Finnish christmas traditions too. However, the name pukki (goat) never left.

The red look of Joulupukki is also considerably new. Up until 1960s at least, the most common Santa in Finland still had heavy elements from the look of nuuttipukki with a goat-skin-like clothes and toned down colour palette. Nowadays joulupukki is most often pretty similar to the red Coca-Cola Santa from USA with a sprinkle of tonttu tradition in it too.
