It is the day before Christmas Eve and there is lots to do, but
disaster strikes when Pettson sprains his ankle. How can they
celebrate Christmas now, with no tree, ham, meatballs or
gingerbread? For all their resourcefulness, Findus and Pettson are
close to giving up, when suddenly there is a knock on the door...
Snow is falling on Pettson's farm, and Christmas is approaching.
Findus, the talking cat, tells Pettson that he is excited about the
Yule Tomte visiting and bringing gifts. Oh dear! thinks Pettson,
How can I explain that the Yule Tomte may not visit cats? But
Findus is adamant that the Yule Tomte must visit, and because
Pettson does not want Findus to be disappointed, he comes up with a
plan to build a Yule Tomte that can move and speak and give Findus
gifts. But it is going to be very difficult to keep this secret
from the curious cat, and even harder to design a convincing
mechanical Yule Tomte! What Pettson needs is a little bit of
Christmas magic...

often before." "But tell it to me anyway!" So here is the story of
when Findus was little and disappeared.
