Everyone has the image of Santa Claus flying through the night on a sleigh driven by nine reindeer, but the picture of what Santa rides on in Finland is quite different. He does begin in his sleigh; however, at some point during the night, he stops his travels, parks his sleigh, and hops on another form of transportation.
In Finland, Santa leaves his sleigh and climbs aboard a goat named Ukko! This tidbit of information might seen quite surprising to you, but if you lived in Finland, it would just be the norm. Legend holds that Ukko is made of straw.
