He's on his rounds

Yes, it's the big man himself who has started his round of inspection, checking in with the elves everywhere to see who is on which list. I fear I may be on the bad one this year because just after shooting this photo he raised that stick and brandished it rather menacingly in my general direction. He also did not offer me any candy from his basket when we stopped for a chat.
Iittala Christmas Fair day one of two. Temperature was minus 5 when I shot this but right now at 8.30pm it has plummeted to minus 11. Ouch!
