We don't need Santa. We have tomten.

The forest elves at Easter
have celebrations every day,
music to the birdsong
and eggs of many kinds:
the very best variety
is golden yellow on the outside
in it are lucky coins
you shall get half a twenty.
Happy Easter!

Happy Midsummer!
I wish you all a wonderful summer day to spend time with family and friends.
