Is this the little elf with a blue pointy hat and a
white goat beard? We had it on TV too. I always
thought that was a DDR thing, as I got such a doll
from an East German family friend. (Who turned out to
be the head Stasi agent in Finland, codename "Oxford",
water under the bridge as far as we are concerned and
we still have lot of stuff in the family financed by
DDR...)
