Buorit juovllat ja buorra ođđa jahki! – Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Sámi Christmas traditions have roots stretching far back in time. In traditional Sámi folklore, we encounter Juovlastállu, a figure very different from the kind and cheerful Santa Claus we know today.

Juovlastállu arrived in a sleigh pulled by mice, bringing fear and excitement to children. Before Christmas Eve, the yard had to be tidy, the firewood chopped, and a cup of water left out for him. If his sleigh became stuck among twigs and debris, the consequences could be terrifying!

Juovlabáidi is a festive Christmas sweater featuring Christmas-inspired patterns, knitted in Finull from Rauma Garn.
