Interesting,Bran. Isn't their a Kris Kringle character in Germany? and Father
Christmas in UK. You're being betwen I 'd think some sort of character would
exist. He's even in Japan now.
Oh, yes, I'd give you the ice under the snow too. I see lots of people
out with ice-breakers trying to get it off the cement. I just put down
some chemical, which probably ruins the environment (despite its disclaimer)
and hope someone does not take a tumble.

In Germany traditionally Father Christmas brings sweets on December 6 and "The Christ Child" brings the presents on Christmas Eve.

But I suspect that nowadays perhaps they've given in to American cultural imperialism like everyone else, for whom the Coca-Cola version of Santa invented ca 1930 is the central act at Christmas.
