"Many more Americans than can properly be realized have one or more Sa'ami ancestors who was kidnapped by the Swedes to work as a slave in America choppin down trees."

"Well, maybe I'm wrong. Many Americans have an affinity for the Emperor of the North with the long white beard who rides a reindeer."

For those of you who didn't catch the meaning of the above statement...he's speaking of Santa Claus whose origins are from the Sa'ami people.

Yup, Santa, and the old boy has been around a lot longer than Christianity, Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Islam and Judaism.

BTW, that was just this last Tuesday evening when I saw the Hakka version of the "three emperors" for the first time.

They used to herd reindeers too!
