A large poster, showing the Scandinavian boys, on thick Gloss Art 170gsm paper.
Santa is a...
Everybody knows Santa’s sledge is pulled by reindeer, lives somewhere cold and even the Finns say he lives in Lapland.
In other words, Santa is a Sami. Just look at this [link] and deal with it.
The Sami people are the “Indians” of the North and they belong in the same group as Native Americans and Aboriginals. They live in Lapland, an area that stretches from north Norway over Sweden and Finland to Russia.
I would have liked there to be more characters in the comic, but I don’t have a lot of time to draw today, so this will have to do.

re your comment to Manaatti: indeed, the Sami people, though they also speak a Uralic language, are definitely distinct from the Finns, as is beautifully(and comedically) illustrated in the movie «Кукушка»("The Cuckoo") — if you haven't seen it, i highly recommend it!

The reason why he dresses in red on christmas is because if he was blue the coca-cola company would have to change it's colour to blue, wich is pepsis colour, wich would lead to world chaos. So it's like a camouflage so that the world wouldn't have to collapse

It's not mutually exclusive. Santa is clearly a Sami from Finland.

I always imagined him as finnish, but now when I think about it, you're actually right... he should be a sami.

Well... Hetalia says Santa comes from Finland, but then again, Hetalia is wrong a lot of the time...
This was interesting to know about! Lapland... Hm... Never heard of that...

Santa can't be from Finland; I mean... Santa is jolly?!
Santa (Saint Nicholaus) came from Turkey, but later moved to Greenland, since there is not many places with landmass (if I remember correct) on the North Pole.
His reindeers are specialy trained (to fly) reindeers raised by the Sami's.
(Did I miss any of the countries?)

Oh gawd, the Sami Santa is ADORABLE. I have said this before (elsewhere) and I WILL say it again. Pure adorableness! <3
