Christmas Eve
SINTRAM was the name of the wicked proprietor
of Fors; he, with the clumsy body of
an ape, with long arms, bald head, and ugly
grimacing face; he, whose whole delight it was to devise
evil.
Sintram was the name of him who chose vagabonds
and brawlers as workmen, and had only quarrelling
and lying serving-girls about him, who maddened
the dogs by thrusting pins into their noses,
and lived happily amid hateful people and furious
animals.
Sintram was the name of the man whose greatest
pleasure was to masquerade as the Evil One in
horns and tail and hoofs and hairy hide, and,
suddenly appearing out of dusky corners, from behind
the oven or the woodbox, frighten timid women
and children.
Sintram was he who rejoiced to exchange old
friendship for new enmity, and to poison the heart
with lies.
Sintram was his name—and once he came to
Ekeby.

Drag the big wood sledge into the forge, pull it into
the middle of the floor, and place the bottom of
a tar barrel over it! That will serve as a table.
