Taken from a bakery bag.
Caption as follows:
‘Our little friend ‘Tomte’ use magical secret-power fro delicious BREAD that,
Well enjoy in next morning. Children who living in NORTHERN EUROPE tell
us secret that just baken BREAD. YES ……….TOMTE’s secret. HOKUO as.
BREAD country SAPPORO is very similar with TOMTE’s land.’
(NOTE: Tomte is the name for Santa Claus
in Sweden. I know this because countless
Swedish people have written in to tell me.
Others from Norway insist that Tomte is
an elf or gnome. Finally, the Finnish insist that
‘Tomte’ is more like Santa’s little helper. Thanks guys.)

These grammatical errors stink to high Heaven!
On another note:
“Scandinavian Natural Roman,” eh? Make up your mind!
Santa is telling secrects now?
Your secret’s out, Tomte! >:D
I’m of Norwegian descent and I have heard stories about the Tomten (plural of Tomte). In Norway, they are like little bearded dwarf-things, with tails, which, according to the children’s stories, come into the house at night aaaanndd…bake bread. And it’s kind of true that the Sapporo area in Japan is a lot like Norway. So, basically, this is a well-Engrished retelling of the Norwegian Tomte stories.
