Journal Entry 1 by 
ATTE THE ELF (Atte Tonttu in Finnish)This books is for a little older children who like to count things. I and a colleague of mine made two copies of this book for Celia Library. We have four more copies nearly ready. Maybe I'll write the text in English later. It depends on what we'll do with those copies. Now the text is only in Finnish, so I'll write only a short resumé here. We made this book because my colleague found some extra Xmas decorations while tidying her home in the summer. |

The baking of gingerbread cookies marks the beginning of Christmas preparations for all Finnish children. (In some families the procedure must be repeated a few times because the cookies tend to disappear mysteriously.)Atte learned also to bake these Christmas cookies. He baked cookies of seven different shapes. * * * Two of these cookies has a tiny bag of cinnamon and some other flavour underneath, so the cookies have the real aroma. |
