In Austria, Christkindl is the traditional gift-bringer, not Santa. He is usually pictured as a child with blonde hair and angel wings. I got my information from Wikipedia, so it may not be completely correct.
Khris Kringle is another name for Santa Claus. See attached link ANSWER There are different ways to spell it. Kris Kringle, Christkind or Christkindl. He's also known as Santa Claus, Saint Nicholas, Sinterklaas, Nikolaos of Bari, Father Christmas or simply Santa. Saint Nicholas of Myra is the original "Santa" originating from present day Turkey. He was a Greek Bishop known for giving gifts such as placing coins in the shoes of people whom left them out for him.
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)
The Easter Bunny as an Easter symbol seems to have its origins in Alsace and southwestern Germany, where it was first mentioned in German writings in the 1600s. Its origin can be traced to the German fertility goddess Ä’ostre The Easter Bunny was introduced to America by the German settlers who arrived in the Pennsylvania Dutch country during the 1700s. The arrival of the "Ä’oster Hawse" (a phonetic transcription of a dialectal pronunciation of the German Osterhase) was considered one of "childhood's greatest pleasures," similar to the arrival of Kriist Kindle (from the German Christkindl) on Christmas Eve. According to the tradition, children would build brightly colored nests, often out of caps and bonnets, in secluded areas of their homes. The "Ä’oster Hawse" would, if the children had been good, lay brightly colored eggs in the nest. As the tradition spread, the nest has become the manufactured, modern Easter basket, and the placing of the nest in a secluded area has become the tradition of hiding baskets.
