Joulupukki

A couple of years ago at Thanksgiving, for grace my wife and I solemnly intoned:

Missä asuu Joulupukki?

Joulupukki asuu Suomessa.

Everyone said "Amen" and got ready to sit down until my aunt started laughing and said, "Wait, don't you want to know what that means?" Here's the translation:

Where does Santa live?

Santa lives in Finland.

It's true, too. And yes, it's just as picturesque as the article describes.
