Since I in his cozy zhzheshechke not congratulated anyone with NG, fills a gap:
Happy New Year!
Under the new year begins as a very tormenting questions Cultural differences: why do all the Santa Claus one, and we - with her aunt, kinship, which is very ambiguous (whether my daughter, or grandchild). And indeed everywhere whether Santa is the same? In fact, Santa Claus came up, it turns out in the Soviet Union. You had something completely on Christmas and St. Nicholas unlike, and now, by many experiments and was born with a Santa Claus Snow Maiden. That is, we have one just because others do not. In both. Though of course these The characters were before, only now presents they gave to no one, and generally in the NG special is not involved. Grandfather was a terrible and evil and cold men in the woods in severe winter nights. And the Snow Maiden - the same folk element. Freezes in the woods girl, that is, in some sense a victim of Santa Claus. And only since 1935 when the USSR had again allowed a Christmas tree, this couple has become an integral member of the New Year celebrations for children (and joined them).
names Santa Claus and other Santa Clauses in various countries certainly sound different, but still usually something associated with Nicole's in a name guessing. Our own grandfather Mraz brings kids gifts throughout Yugoslavia (I mean in all the countries in which it was composed) and Belarus. Well, there is sometimes (but rarely) in Ukraine. From Europe, the most distinguished Greeks: they are not St. Nicholas and St. Basil. But look different versions of Santa in all countries is very similar, does not explicitly tell the difference. Only now my favorite Yolupukki slightly different - the same Santa, only sometimes with horns.
