Tomten och haren

Tomten och haren, or I ett hus vid skogens slut, is a song often used as a Christmas song, but also used as a mimic song. The song is often sung among children, and the lyrics deal with a Santa Claus/elf/tomte figure sitting inside a cottage noticing a hare, saving it from the hunter by allowing it into safety inside the cottage. The tune is of unknown origin, but is reminiscent of the Sunday school song , and the Evert Taube song .
