Hyvää Joulua!

Tuesday evening three Finnish Elves and a small group of American-Finlanders gathered at the Finnish American Heritage Center in Hancock.

The gathering sang holiday songs and carols while the Three Semi-Finnish Elves provided the musical accompaniment.

The Elves names will now be made public, they were Pasi Lautala, Oren Tikkanen,  and Randy (Raimo) Wakeham.

The songs and carrols were mostly Finnish although the group did "finish" the evening singing and playing Feliz Navidad. Is that a Si Si or a Hei Hei or a Hei Si?
