Our 🎅 Santa Claus has a great many foreign brothers. If you understand their origin, then many of them are very distant relatives of Santa Claus or not even relatives at all, but rather colleagues.
⭐ However, having assumed the functions of the symbol of the New Year or Christmas Giver and Entertainer, Santa Clauses from different countries have acquired common features that look through the variety of their characters, images and outfits.
Each of them invisibly or explicitly (even if it’s a disguised dad or employee) is present at a family or corporate meeting of the New Year, each comes with gifts and congratulations, rejoices in the achievements of the past year, each knows how to joke and entertain, each is a Winter Wizard, a kind magician, each of them is positive in its essence, because it is the personification of the Holiday.
✨🎄 And on New Year's Eve, all the roads of the globe are in a hurry - running, riding a trio of horses, deer, a goat and a donkey - the many-faced 🎅 Santa Claus.
In America, this is Santa Claus, the most famous New Year's character in the world. He rides on a reindeer team, gets into the house through a pipe, puts gifts in special beautiful socks.
❄ In France and Panama - Pere Noel, Grandfather January. This wizard rides up to the house on a donkey, with a basket over his shoulders, and in the basket are gifts. He also enters the house through the chimney, and puts gifts in children's shoes. Like a true Frenchman, Per Noel considers wine a living being and clinks glasses with a wine barrel, congratulating the wine and all the inhabitants of the house on the New Year.
❄ Spanish Santa Claus has a similar name: Papa Noel.
❄ In the UK - Father Christmas. He wears a long fur coat, and in his hand he has a branch of mistletoe - a symbol of family and love.
❄ In Holland - Sinter Klaas (St. Nicholas), he has a miter with a cross on his head, because his prototype, St. Nicholas, was an archbishop.
❄ In Finland - Joulupukki (Christmas goat). Many years ago, the Finnish Santa Claus wore a goat skin and rode on a goat. He still wears a shaggy coat. Giving gifts and congratulations to the children, the detailed Joulupukki checks with a magic book in which all the misdeeds and pranks of the children are recorded.
❄ In Germany, Weinachtsmann comes with congratulations and gifts. According to legend, he traces his origins to the angry mythical soldier Huprecht, who was used by German mothers to frighten naughty children. But over the centuries, having become older and wiser, the soldier has become kinder, he does not punish children, but gives them gifts, which he slowly leaves on the windowsill.
❄ In Sweden - Yultomten, he will certainly put gifts to the stove (and in a city apartment, apparently, to heating radiators).
❄ In Greece and Cyprus, the role of Father Frost is played by St. Basil.
❄ In Colombia, Papa Pasquale.
❄ In Italy - Babbo Natale.
❄ In Poland - St. Nicholas.
❄ In the Czech Republic - Grandfather Mikulash.
❄ In Uzbekistan - Korbobo. As befits an Uzbek, he flaunts in a striped robe and rides a donkey.
❄ In Norway - Nisse, little brownies, they are friends with pets, love sweet oatmeal with butter. Their character is not easy: they can get angry at the owners of the house and take revenge - harm the household and people.
✨🎄 New Year is truly a global holiday. It reveals the character of the people, their national traditions, way of life. And, of course, any of the relatives or colleagues of 🎅 Santa Claus acquires national features of appearance and character. One is frivolous and cheerful, the other is serious and good-natured, the third is quick-tempered and reckless ...
And any of them - each in their own country - is the most necessary and indispensable character of the 🎄 New Year, its mysterious spirit.
