Arabia Moomin mug Winter Forest was designed by Tove Slotte, who used several different sources for the illustration. Moomin comics: “Moomin and Aunt Jane” and “Moomin and the Comet”. The idea for the reindeer on the mug came from a letter Jansson had made in 1963. Finnish foreign ministry had ordered the letter in 1963 to make Finland known abroad.
The text on the original on Tove Jansson’s Christmas letter: “Dear Little friend! How are you? I am getting to be a rather old Santa Claus, a little lonely as well, so I like letters. “
