Weinachtsmann (Germany)

The night before Christmas to the 

German children comes 

Weinachtsmann. Santas in different 

countries is a good and loving kids 

heroes who want to arrange a 

holiday for all kids. So the German 

character is an exact copy of our 

Santa Claus. To the kids he comes 

on a donkey. Going to bed, the boys 

and girls of Germany put on the 

table plate, in which the good old 

man will put tasty treats, and in the 

shoes they leave hay for his donkey.

Santa Nikolaus (Germany)

German Santa Claus always 

inseparable with his faithful 

servant - Ruprecht. However, the 

gifts (as, indeed, and the rod for 

varmints) it gives not at 

Christmas, and on the night of 

the sixth of December. Ruprecht 

appeared because in medieval 

German schools children were 

given Christmas gifts to the 

priest. The peasants, in turn, 

wanted to see in his place an 

ordinary laborer. So there was 

this fabulous image, and the 

priest turned into a good Santa 

Nikolaus.

The French call Santa Pere Noel. His name literally translates as 

Father Christmas. Pere Noel also congratulates the toddler is not 

alone. His constant companion Challandes – bearded old man in 

a fur hat, wrapped in a warm cloak road. Pere Noel 

congratulates and presents well-mannered and obedient 

children, and disobedient and lazy Challandes brings the rod. 

Celebrate the new year's holiday in France with family. This 

occurs most often in the company of friends in a restaurant, and 

often even on the streets, surrounded by hundreds of sparkling 

lights and colourful fireworks, sparkling champagne, fun and 

music.

Pere Noel (France)

In England, where tradition is valued above all, the main 

Christmas celebration is the Queen's speech. She 

pronounces her after dinner. And before the meal, the 

family goes to Church. Children are turning to Father 

Christmas and ask him. For this we need to write the 

magic Santa a detailed email with all the wishes and 

throw it in the fireplace. The wish list from the chimney 

with the smoke will be delivered directly to the 

destination.
