According to Finnish legends and lore, Santa Claus isn’t the holly, jolly fat man that we know and love.
According to Finnish traditions, Santa Claus (or “Christmas Bock”) is
more similar to the Devil than he is to any gift-giving saint. In these pages above which are from an old book of folk stories, you can see that
the original Christmas Bock had horns like the Devil, and he wasn’t
afraid to administer justice to naughty children. Bock also enjoys feasting on children and reindeer. (Source)
