As a European, I can say that with us (Belgium and I believe the Netherlands too), Saint Nicholas is a holy man that, just as you said, visits december 6th to leave presents. The days leading up, children can put their shoe next to the fireplace with a present either for him, his assistant or his horse for a little gift of chocolate, spiced biscuits or tangerines. In Dutch, his name is 'Sinterklaas'.

Story time related to Santa : When i was in kindergarten on Christmas day, the teachers always invited Santa. They used the loudest sound effects that shows Santa's sleigh has landed in front of our school. Younger me only knew Santa, but they introduced zwater piets as well and i was confused. Turns out they're job was to stuffed bad children inside a giant bag that is similar to Santa's. Younger me was extremely terrified of Santa and zwater piets. I remember i actually saw one of the students held hostage and of course being stuffed into the bag in the process, idk what they did but that actually scared me.

It's unfortunate that you missed out the connection with "Father Christmas", a jolly character who represented the spirit of christmas, and eventually got merged with St Nicholas at some point a few hundred years ago. A lot of Santa's traits come from Father Christmas. Santa is still often called "Father Christmas" in the UK.

Christmas in Russia is completely different from that in the United States and Europe. For New Years is the mega holiday in Russia. This time of year the trees are put up and decorated and presents are given under the tree by Ded Moroz or Father Winter. The Slavic equivalent of Santa Claus. He is the symbol of the Russian winter and he is often accompanied by a young woman which is his granddaughter named Snegurochka.
@lunabeekhuizen8858

Fun fact. Coca Cola's sales crash every year around christmas in Sweden. Since we have a local thing called "Must" that we just consume milions of liters of during christmas and easter. So coca cola just gave up and made their own brand of must for the Swedish market. The coke sales just go down by 50% for like 2-3 months a year.

Funny you should mention Haddon Sundblom, because he was the son of a Finnish immigrant and his image of Santa Claus would be shaped by the Nordic version of him and not the Southern European version of St. Nicholas. The Finnish version of Santa Claus is based on Joulupukki. The literal translation means "Yule goat", but is most often depicted as man in on a broad red coat that travels from farm to farm in a small sleigh pulled by a reindeer. He is believed to have a pagan origin and might predate St.Nicholas. Given that Sundblom grew up with this image of Santa Claus, it is more likely that he based his illustrations the redcoat man pulled by reindeer then a Turkish catholic saint. Edit: Thought reading about Joulupukki, he wasn't generally considered a nice guy. He usually entered a house asking "Is there any nice children here?" and if it wasn't...well, those kids were in mortal danger. He also demanded appeasements. Not milk and cookies, but more in line of real food and beer. So I guess He and St. Nicholas at some point did a Goku/Vegeta Fusion and became the Santa we know today.

As fas as I know the whole "he comes by and leaves gifts if you leave out food" has origins in norse mythology. Odin rode Sleipner around the world and to help Sleipner to recover children put out hay in a boot for Sleipner to eat. And as a thanks Odin would leave gifts for the children.
@henry_alphonse
@henry_alphonse 2 роки тому
It is common for Santa (or people dressed as him) to ask "Are there any nice children here?" when he enters a home here in Sweden, which borders Finland and has a long history with it, so I assume those traditions are related. We also have the yule goat but it's not as popular anymore. Very interesting!

I feel as though you are attempting to enact a food based assassination, also my guess as for most aerodynamic, something semisolid like mashed potatoes or jello, solid enough to grab and throw but liquid enough to change shape to improve aerodynamics. Or possibly grapes or other sphere shaped fruits.

Idk why, but Santa to me is a very jolly character, despite the whole "he stalks you" and "he breaks into your literal house". I guess its because my christmas tree was placed outside and not inside of my house and the whole "he delivers presents!" thing covered up like 90% of the stuff. Also my parents never told me that he lived in the north pole, his elves make toys for him without paying them and the infamous "Naughty List" (they did tell me that you have to be nice but never told me that there was a entire list dedicated to it :/).

As I understand it there was also some inspiration drawn from the nordic house gnome and Santa slowly evolved from a tiny grey man into what we see today. There was a Swedish illustrator named Jenny Nyström that at least formed the Swedish image of Santa and she had a similar transition in her art.

IIRC, Saint Nikolaus had a dream of three schoolboys being murdered by a greedy innkeeper, and stuffed in a pickling barrel to be served as pork. To prove it, Nikolaus prayed over the barrel, and the three schoolboys burst out of it , miraculously brought back to life. This is why in addition to being connected to Christmas, St. Nikolaus is the patron saint of schoolboys. While I lived in Germany for a number of years, and my family's background is largely German, I didn't find this out until I read it in a Dennis the Menace comic book about Christmas traditions around the world!
