FASMW's Annual Pikkujoulu/Christmas Party

Sunday, December 7th

Mark your calendars!
 

Hyvää joulua ja onnellista uutta vuotta!

The annual Pikkujoulo/Christmas party will be held on December 7th from 2:00 to 6:00 pm at the Idun Lodge located on the east side of Madison at 2262 Winnebago St. The Society provides the salmon, ham, coffee, glöggi, lemonade as well as gifts for the children. Members and guests are asked to bring their own tableware, and an accompaniment dish, bread, salad, or dessert to share, as well as their adult beverage of choice, such as wine or beer. There will be a charge of $3 to cover the cost of renting the lodge.

Also, please bring a Finnish or Christmas related item or baked goods to be included in our raffle. Tickets can be purchased for $1 or 6 for $5 to win the gift of your choice if your tickets are picked. Joulupukki (Santa) usually arrives after dinner to hand out presents to the youngsters.

This is our most fun event of the year so a good time will be had by all! Be sure to be there!

Joulupukki matkaan jo käy
(Santa Claus Is Coming to Town)

Melody and lyrics: J. Fred. Coots & Haven Gillespie;
Finnish translation: Saukki

Ei itkeä saa, ei meluta saa,
joku voi tulla ikkunan taa.
Joulupukki matkaan jo käy.
Nyt nimien kirjaan merkitään taas:
tuhma vai kiltti, ajatelkaas!
Joulupukki matkaan jo käy.

Taas pienet tontut liikkuu
ja muistiin merkitsee,
niin joulupukki tietää saa,
kuka lahjat ansaitsee.
Siis: Ei itkeä saa, ei meluta saa,
sopu on paljon mukavampaa.
Joulupukki matkaan jo käy.

Ken lelut nuo saa,
ken pelit nuo saa?
Monta on pientä odottajaa.
Joulupukki matkaan jo käy.
Hän nuketkin hienot tytöille tuo,
pojille autot upeat nuo.
Joulupukki matkaan jo käy.
Ja kohta luona kuusen
taas juhlaa viettää voi,
taas lahjakääröt aukaistaan
ja joululaulut soi.
Siis: Ei itkeä saa, ei meluta saa,
tonttu voi tulla ikkunan taa.
Joulupukki matkaan jo käy.
