Oh, so sad!
Come and sit on my lap, and I'll try to explain for you.

Listen:
In a country far away from your house, the same country Santa live in, some people want to play in the snow.
And some want to jump in the snow wearing a pair of ski.
So some nice people spend many months up in the hill to make a big strange looking platform, and soon the brave people can jump very far.

-Did that help, my little friend?

Only pressies for nice kids who know where Santa live = nothing for you if you do not learn your lesson!

But why spend so much money to build one of these when you already have Preikestolen to jump off?

he could borrow one of the costumes from the advent calander boys - it doesn't have to be a full suit
