German language is funny
In Iceland we have not just one, but we have 13 Santas.
They have strange names, such as Door-slammer, Sausage-snacher, Dish-licker and Tiny.
They live in a cave in the mountains with their mother and father.
Their mother is Grýla. She is ugly and mean and she eats children there are not behaving.
Their father is Leppalúði, total loeser, kin of the trolls.
13 days before Christmas the santas start coming down from the mountain, one each night. The children put their shoe in the window and Santa stops by at every house and every well behaving child gets a little something in the shoe. If they are not good they just get a potato.

A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables when a voice in the dark said, 'Jesus knows you're here.'
He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off, and froze. When he heard nothing more, he shook his head and continued.
Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard 'Jesus is watching you.'
Startled, he shined his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice. Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot.
'Did you say that?' he hissed at the parrot.
'Yes', the parrot confessed, then squawked, 'I'm just trying to warn you that he's watching you.'
The burglar relaxed. 'Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?'
'Moses,' replied the bird.
'Moses?' the burglar laughed. 'What kind of people would name a bird Moses?'
'The kind of people who would name a Rottweiler Jesus.'

It translates as: should the sheep in the river rest on the farm named Á?
