The gift-giver for Christmas in Russia is Ded Moroz, also known as Father Frost or Grandfather Frost.

Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of Russia, and was the original gift-giver. The feast day of Saint Nicholas is celebrated on 6 December.

Yes! The idea of Kris Kringle came to be long before the U.S.A. came around. Santa Claus came to be in the Western Europe countries and migrated to the Western Hemisphere.

No, they give presents for the New Year. For Christmas they go the churches (at night) and wish to each other peace and happiness.
