Yeeeeeeah.

Like most of those darn trivia lists, it's part falsehoods, part fallacy and part bleedin' obvious.

106. When Santa comes to Finland to deliver gifts, he finds the first pub, gets drunk, gets arrested, (I dont think there's been one Christmas when I havent seen Santa get put to a squad car) his elves deliver the gifts, they dont go in to the homes, but leave the bags outside.
