no that's Jesus
The gift giver in Germany is known as the Christkind or Weihnachtsmann (Santa Claus). The Christkind is a mythical figure who brings gifts to children on Christmas Eve, while the Weihnachtsmann is similar to Santa Claus and is also associated with gift-giving during the holiday season.
In Germany, Santa is known as Weihnachtsmann, Christkind, or Nikolaus.
no, we don't have santa Claus in austria the "Christkind" brings the Christmas presents in the evening of the 24th but the gift giving is also in the evening of the 24th unlike in the US
der Weihnachtsmann, Papa Noel, Nikolaus at 6. December, Christkind at 24.December, Santa Claus
The German name for Santa Claus is der Weihnachtsman. Unlike the UK and US, he is not connected to Saint Nicholas, whose feast day is celebrated in Germany on 6 December. Der Weihnachtsmann came about in Germany through exposure to foreign culture, mainly the UK and US. Traditionally presents are brought on Christmas Eve by the Christkind (Christ Child)
Santa Claus' name in German is der Weihnachtsmann. The idea of Santa Claus is alien to German Christmas celebrations. Saint Nicholas visits German children on December 6 and the Christkind (Christ Child) comes to them on Christmas Eve with presents. Exposure to Anglo-Saxon culture since the end of the second World War has introduced der Weihnachtsmann into popular German culture. Das Christkind IS NOT the German equivalent of Kris Kringle
He is known as Weihnachtsmann in Germany. This means "Christmas man".He is known as Kris Kringle from the Southern Germany.
Usually in Switzerland Christkind (the Christ child) is the one who brings gifts.
Santa, Father Christmas, and other namesThere is a slight difference between Santa Claus and Father Christmas, they are exactly the same just with a different name and , they have different Oregon's. Different countries use different names for Santa or Father Christmas, for example in Germany, Santa Claus is known as Kris Kringle.
The concept of Father Christmas/Santa Claus is quite new to Germany. In Germanic and German speaking countries Sankt Nikolaus (Santa Claus) comes to children on December 6 (feast day of St Nicholas). He is depicted with Knecht Rupprecht (his servant Rupert). Traditionally they leave fruit and nuts for the good children and a birch for the naughty ones. As he was a Bishop he is not depicted with a wife in German culture. Presents are traditionally brought by the Christkind (Christ child) on Christmas Eve. It is only in the last sixty or so years that the 'Anglo-Saxon' idea of Father Christmas/Santa Claus bringing presents on Christmas Eve has come to Germany through increased exposure to British and American culture (initially following the second World War and occupation and then through movies and tv) In Germany he is known as der Weihnachtsmann.
I think Santa will have a snooze after Christmas after all that work. You'd better send it before Christmas just to be safe.
You say it like you are speaking English, but you give it an accent.
