As Singhild arrives on her motorcycle sledge, neighbour Gustavsson drops a pile wood in front of Pettson’s house. Gustavsson has told Singhild that Pettson is willing to carve 100 wooden Santa Claus’ for the Christmas bazaar. Singhild thanks Pettson for his generous offer, which he doesn’t dare back out of. In return he asks Gustavsson whether he could dress as Santa Claus.
