Joulukuu is the month of tax returns. Which is a nice thing for those who actually get some money back from the hallitus. But for some of us who need to be paying back, the old adage "tyhjästä on paha nyhjästä" may become all too real. Then you really need to get creative about joulu. Luckily the best kink you can give and receive is yhdessäolo.
The English equivalent to this saying would be "to pull something out of thin air" - or try to... Or what Shakespeare's King Lear said: "Nothing will come of nothing".
Yet to be translated in Estonian. Please leave a comment below if you know.
