His image exists in almost everyone national traditions, and even Muslim countries have their own Khyzyr Ilyas - a good-natured old man in a red cap who brings gifts to obedient children. True, in mid-May.
Russia
Character: Santa Claus
Father Frost (Morozko, Treskun, Studenets) is a Slavic mythological character, the lord of the winter cold. The ancient Slavs imagined him in the form of a short old man with a long gray beard. His breath is a strong cold. His tears are icicles. Frost - frozen words. And the hair is like snow clouds. Frost's wife is Winter herself. In winter, Frost runs through fields, forests, streets and knocks with his staff. From this knock, the bitter frost freezes rivers, streams, and puddles with ice. And if he hits the corner of the hut with his staff, the log will certainly crack. Morozko really doesn’t like those who shiver and complain about the cold. And the cheerful and cheerful are given bodily strength and a hot glow. From November to March the frost is so strong that even the sun becomes shy before it.
Santa Claus first appeared at Christmas in 1910, but did not become widespread. IN Soviet time a new image was widespread: he appeared to children under New Year and gave gifts, this image was created by Soviet filmmakers in the 1930s.
Today in Russia there is an official residence of Father Frost - Veliky Ustyug.
Germany
Character: Santa Nikolaus and Vainachtsman
There are two winter grandfathers in Germany. One of them is Santa Nikolaus, who is inseparable from his servant Ruprecht, but brings gifts (and not only gifts, but also rods for the guilty) to children not at Christmas, but on December 6, St. Nicholas Day. Ruprecht was “educated” to the extent that in medieval Catholic schools in Germany a priest came to children with gifts, and the peasants, in turn, preferred to see an ordinary farm laborer in his place. So the farmhand became Ruprecht, and the priest turned into Santa Nikolaus.
But on Christmas night itself, Vainachtsman, an exact copy of the Russian Father Frost, comes to the German children. In Germany, Santa Claus appears on a donkey. Before going to bed, children put a plate on the table for the gifts that Santa Claus will bring them, and put hay in their shoes - a treat for his donkey. Christmas in Germany is a family holiday. The family must certainly gather at the festive table. On this day, a gift exchange ceremony takes place, which even has its own name - Besherung. By the way, this is another reason to doubt the purely Christian origin of our grandfather. Most likely, the image of Father Frost mixed pagan and Orthodox traditions.
France
Character: Pere Noel
And the French New Year's Father Frost is named Père Noel, which literally translates as Father Christmas. In France, Père Noel also comes to children not alone, but together with Chaland, a bearded old man in fur hat and a warm travel raincoat. Père Noël gives gifts to “good” children, and rods are hidden in Chalande’s basket for the naughty and lazy ones. To appease Shaland, the children sing: “Shaland came to us in a pointed hat and with a straw beard. Now we have plenty of nuts and delicious buns until the New Year!” New Year is celebrated in France, as a rule, not with family, but with friends. And not for the solemn family table, but in a restaurant or even just on the street among hundreds of sparkling firecrackers and fireworks, pops of champagne, laughter and music.
Great Britain
Character: Father Christmas
In this country, where tradition is most valued, an indispensable attribute of the holiday is the Queen's short speech, which she delivers immediately after Christmas dinner. And before gathering at the festive table, the whole family goes to church. Children here order Father Christmas gifts (literally Father Christmas). He needs to write a detailed letter listing what he wants and throw it into the fireplace. Smoke from the chimney will deliver your wish list right to its destination.
In Great Britain, St. Stephen's Day is celebrated on the second day of Christmas, when special donation boxes are opened and the contents are distributed to those in need.
USA
Character: Santa Claus
Americans borrowed their traditions from Europe, because the New World arose through the efforts of people who came from the Old World. Here, the Christmas trees are decorated, Christmas carols are sung, and traditional turkey is served. At Christmas, Americans usually drink egg-nog - an egg-wine drink (like a cocktail) with cream. American Father Christmas is called Santa Claus.
The name "Santa Claus" first appeared in the press in 1773. The image is based on Saint Nicholas of Merliki. The first literary description of the image belongs to William Gilly, who published the poem “Santeclaus” in 1821. A year later, a whole poetic account of the visit of Santa Claus appeared from the pen of Clement Clark Moore (a professional dentist). The current appearance of Santa Claus belongs to the brush of Handon Sundblom, an American artist who painted a series of drawings for advertising Coca-Cola in 1931.
Finland
Character: Joulupukki
In Finland (it is generally believed that New Year's wizards originated from there), the local gnome Joulupukki visits the local children. This funny name translates into Russian as “Christmas goat.” The fact is that the villagers who carried gifts home on Christmas night wore goat fur coats.
Joulupukki lives inside the Korvatunturi fell, in the Kaikuluolat caves. He has large and sensitive ears, so he knows exactly which of the children behaved well, who behaved badly and who wants to receive what gift. And on Christmas night he comes to the children while they are sleeping and gives gifts that are hidden in his cap. He brings rods to the disobedient.
In general, in many countries the main winter characters come not only to give gifts to children, but also to punish them. In any case, this was the case until the middle of the 20th century, when Christmas grandfathers gradually began to “forget” about children’s disobedience.
Sweden
Character: Yul Tomten
In Sweden, everyone expects gifts from the Christmas gnome, a little like “our” brownie, who lives in the underground of every Swedish house. His name is Yul Tomten. In creating Christmas miracles, he is helped by Dusty the snowman, mischievous mice, a prince and princess, witches, the King and Snow Queen and, of course, the ubiquitous elves. The latter, by the way, have a particularly hard time. In their small mine, they constantly mine gold for Christmas tree decorations and gifts. Those who come to visit Tomten are warned: “Watch your step! Little trolls are constantly scurrying along the paths. Don't step on them!
Italy
Character: Babbo Natale and the fairy Befana
Babbo Natale (Babbe Natale) leaves his sleigh on the roof and enters the house through the chimney, where some milk and sweets are left for him “to strengthen him.”
Besides him, in Italy, on New Year's Day, children happily waited for the fairy Befana; it was she who took care of the holiday in this country: she brought good children sweets, toys, various things. True, she was angry and harsh with the bad ones, “rewarding” them only with extinguished embers. The Italians believed that Befana brought stars, she entered houses through the chimney and placed gifts in stockings hung from the exhaust hoods of the hearths. According to another version, the fairy arrives in a completely earthly way - on a donkey loaded with a bale of gifts, and ties it near the house where the children live. While the animal is refreshed, Befana unlocks the doors with a small golden key and fills the children's shoes with souvenirs and sweets.
China
Character: Shan Dan Laozhen, Dong Che Lao Ren or Sho Hin
China has its own Christmas grandfathers. Those who come to China for Christmas notice first of all the “Trees of Light” - an analogue of our Christmas tree. They are decorated in oriental style with bright and exquisite lanterns, flowers, and garlands. Chinese Christians use these same decorations in the festive decoration of their homes.
Unlike Dutch children who fill special wooden shoes with straw where they find gifts on Christmas morning, little Chinese children hang stockings on the walls where Dong Che Lao Ren (Grandfather Christmas) places his Christmas gifts.
Japan
Character: Oji-san, Segatsu-san or Hoteisho
In Japan, instead of Santa Claus, the main figure of the holiday is the god Hoteyosho. If all the other “brothers” of Santa Claus, even if they have something goatish in their name, are still quite humanoid and goatlike in them - except maybe a beard, then Japan, here, as in everything, stands apart, and the god Hoteyosho has eyes ...on the back of the head.
Czech Republic, Slovakia
Character: grandfather Mikulas and Jerzyshek
In the Czech Republic there is Grandfather Mikulas; he is like the German Santa Nikolaus. Comes on the night of December 5-6, on the eve of St. Nicholas Day. Externally similar to Russian Santa Claus: the same long fur coat, hat, staff with a spiral-twisted top. Only now he brings gifts not in a bag, but in a shoulder box. And he is not accompanied by the Snow Maiden, but by an angel in snow-white clothes and a shaggy little imp. Mikulas is always happy to give good and obedient children an orange, an apple or some kind of sweet (that is, something tasty and edible!). But if a hooligan or slacker has a potato or a piece of coal in his “Christmas boot,” it’s definitely Mikulash.
How Mikulash gets along with another New Year's character Hedgehog is unclear and not known to science!
Hedgehog (Yozhishek) is probably the most modest New Year's character in the world. When throwing gifts at children's houses, Jerzyshek carefully makes sure that no one sees him. Apparently it is for this reason that nothing is known about the appearance of this good fellow. But, as soon as the Christmas bell rings on the tree, thousands of Czech and Slovak children rush to see the gifts they have received. “Who brought this?” - another stupid kid will ask, “Hedgehog!” - happy parents answer.
Mongolia
Character: Uvlin Uvgun
The Mongolian New Year's household is managed by a whole family. The head of the family is helped by Zazan Okhin (girl Snow) and Shina Zhila (boy New Year). Uvlin Uvgun himself, as expected, is an excellent cattle breeder, and therefore he comes to the holiday in traditional Mongolian cattle breeder clothes. Well, so that in New Year's Eve Don’t forget about business, from December 31 to January 1, the Mongols also celebrate the day (night!!!) of the cattle breeder.
Türkiye
Character: Saint Nicholas, Noel Baba, Bishop of Merlicia
Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Merlicia (“Noel Baba”) is one of the prototypes of all New Year's characters. Good miracle worker and persecutor of evil. Patron of kidnapped and lost children. Lived in 300 AD.
According to legend, Nikolai Merlikian once walked through the village past the house of a poor man. And there the father was going to send his daughters to “learn” the most ancient profession. Nikolai did not like this, and at night he threw three purses of gold into the house through the chimney (according to another version - three gold coins). They landed in the girl's shoes, which were drying by the fireplace. The happy father bought a dowry for his daughters and married them off.
Uzbekistan

Tests
Look back on the past year and remember how the last 12 months have gone. How did you behave? Take our joke test and find out if Santa Claus will bring you a gift!
After the test you can read a few interesting facts about the New Year.
1. Homeland of the New Year - Mesopotamia
Historians say that this wonderful tradition - celebrating the New Year - originated in Mesopotamia about 4 thousand years ago. On January 1, the Romans began to celebrate the New Year in 1534 BC. Before this, the dates for the New Year varied.
2. The Romans invented New Year's gifts
The idea that how you celebrate the New Year is how you will spend it belongs to the Romans. Therefore, they had fun, pleased each other with delicious food and money.
3. New Year holidays introduced by Peter I
It was Peter who decided that Russians would celebrate the New Year on January 1, followed by a week-long vacation. The holidays are a time when everyone should go out and have fun. Peter's festivities amazed foreigners with their scope.
4. The New Year tree is also the brainchild of Peter
Peter introduced the tradition of putting up a Christmas tree for the New Year, having spotted it in Europe. Under Peter, Christmas trees were not decorated, because the tree itself was already considered a decoration. By the way, people didn’t really like this innovation, and after Peter’s death they stopped putting up Christmas trees.
Only tavern owners continued to put up Christmas trees. Then the taverns began to be called “Yolki”, and the expression “go under the Christmas tree” appeared, which meant “to go to the tavern”.
5. Christmas trees hung on the ceiling
IN medieval Europe The trees did not stand on the floor, but hung upside down from the ceiling. Moreover, it did not carry any sacred meaning. Various sweets were hung on a hanging tree, and at the appointed hour children burst into the room.
6. Luther invented the Christmas tree
In Europe, the Christmas tree became 300 years earlier than in Rus'. As mentioned earlier, New Year's Eve has been around for a long time. According to legend, the author of this was the founder of Protestantism, Martin Luther. In order to somehow bring the Christmas tree closer to Christianity, Martin told his flock to place it on the tops of the trees stars of bethlehem, and decorate their branches with cuttings.
7. The Christmas tree moved into the house
New Year's celebrations were revived under Catherine II. The tree first moved from the street to the house in 1840, when the Germans living in St. Petersburg decided a few days before Catholic Christmas We decided to decorate our home this way. The locals really liked this custom, and they happily began installing Christmas trees in their homes. This was the period when Christmas tree markets appeared. From St. Petersburg the tradition spread throughout the country.
8. Due to the poor apple harvest, Christmas decorations appeared
In Russia, Christmas trees began to be decorated in the mid-19th century. At first, the trees were decorated with delicacies of all kinds; the poor people hung pieces of sugar, vegetables and bread crumbs in a bright rag on the tree. Christmas trees began to be decorated with shiny balls about 100 years ago.
They say that resourceful glassblowers from a small Bavarian town, in a year when there was a poor apple harvest, decided to blow balloons to replace them. And fire-hazardous candles were replaced by electric garlands in the 1870s in the United States. This was done by an ordinary telegraph operator.
From the revolution until 1936 Christmas tree went underground because in 1918 the Bolsheviks banned celebrating the New Year. In 1936, Stalin returned the Christmas tree. Then they immediately went on sale Christmas decorations with a portrait of the leader, and in the columned hall the first Christmas tree in the USSR was arranged for youth and children.
The Kremlin Christmas tree was lit for the first time in 1954. The Christmas star became a red five-pointed one, and New Year's toys reflected the country's plans for the five-year period. At first it was airplanes, tractors, steam locomotives, tanks, ships, under Khrushchev - corn, carrots and turnips, and a little later rockets, satellites and astronauts appeared on the trees.
10. Father Frost is the grandson of the Snow Maiden
We are accustomed to believing that Snegurochka is the granddaughter of Father Frost, but if we dig deeper, then in reality, Snegurochka is his grandmother, or rather great-great-grandmother. In the oldest fairy tales, the Snow Maiden’s name is Kostroma, and she is burned at the stake along with Maslenitsa. Moreover, both Kostroma and Maslenitsa are the ancient goddess of the Slavs. Santa Claus is much younger than his granddaughter.
The question is of concern to any child over 7 years of age. Theoretically, children know that gifts for their loved one and magical holiday brought by none other than Santa Claus. But an unexpectedly discovered gift in mom’s closet on the eve of the holiday, the mysterious whispers of parents and conversations of older friends reduce the child’s faith in the kind Winter Grandfather with a big bag on his back. This article is intended for children and adults to assure them that Santa Claus not only exists, but also fulfills his main task.
Where does Grandfather Frost live?
Father Frost lives in the oldest and most beautiful Russian city called Veliky Ustyug. Anyone, be it a child or an adult who has not lost faith in magic and miracles, can write a letter to Grandfather. To do this, we attach the postal address of Moroz Ivanovich: 162390, Vologda region, Veliky Ustyug, Santa Claus Post.
The magical estate where Father Frost lives is located on the banks of the Sukhona River in a pine forest. Grandfather's House is made in the traditions of Russian architecture and decorated with painted patterns. At night it glows with bright lights, and ice figures are located around the estate itself.
The house has 13 rooms, which are intended for Santa Claus himself, his assistants,... The most interesting room in the estate is the “wish room”, everyone who enters it can make their own wish cherished wish and it will definitely come true.
What does Santa Claus ride on?
Santa Claus rides on his faithful sleigh drawn by beautiful horses. Although the modern Grandfather also has snowmobiles on his farm, he prefers the traditional form of his winter transport.
For children and adults who come to visit him in Veliky Ustyug, he offers a ride on both a sleigh and a small train that travels through the territory of his winter possessions.
Does Santa Claus give gifts to adults?
Santa Claus gives gifts to children, especially those who have behaved well during the year. But if an adult sincerely believes in the existence of the Winter Wizard, he, too, can receive a little surprise from Santa Claus.
So, today we will talk to you about where Santa Claus gets his gifts. After all, this cute “old man” only works one day a year. During this time, he manages to fly around the whole world and give each child a gift. The only question that arises is where he gets them. Let's try to figure it out.
Miracle plant
Well, the first option that is so strongly pushed to children when asked where Santa Claus gets his gifts is that he has his own toy production factory. That is, our dear and kind old man will find out all year who wants to receive what gift. Afterwards, little elves and even some animals create so-called gifts from Santa Claus at the factory. And the kind old man flies over the houses and leaves toys under the Christmas tree.
The factory is located in Elves and Dwarves “stamping” gifts, models of which are found in various shops around the world.
Magic
Another option that parents quite often use to explain to their child where “grandfather” gets his gifts is the presence at his disposal magical powers. That is, gifts from Santa Claus are nothing more than toys created using magic.
Indeed, the old man has some mystical powers. After all, how can you quickly fly around the whole world in a day, and even bring a gift to every child to every apartment, every house? And magical deer, gnomes and elves - all this is further confirmation that something incredible and mysterious is happening at the North Pole. True, if you decide to tell your child that the presents are enchanted, you may stumble upon a completely logical question. Especially if your baby’s logic is well developed. "Santa Claus brought gifts, which, in fact, are sold in the store. Why?" - a child may ask. Indeed, magic is a flight of fancy and the creation of something that does not yet exist in nature. Regarding toys, that's for sure. You can “get out”, but in this situation it’s better to think of another explanation for where Santa Claus gets his gifts.
Purchases
Okay, let's try to tell a more logical option. For example, the one that says that everything put under the Christmas tree is nothing more than “grandfather’s” purchases. Of course, this is a good solution. But also only for the time being.
After all, children grow up and begin to understand better and better the world. When your baby learns to handle money and understands what shopping is, he may ask you where someone who works only one night a year gets such sums from. Especially in the case (although it is quite rare) when children already count well and understand the concepts of “expensive” and “cheap”. Well, you need to think about how to explain where Santa Claus gets his gifts in some other way. After all, if a child asks for something very expensive, then you will have to look for the answer to the question: “Why can’t grandpa bring this?” So there are a couple more options that can be cited and argued. Let's get to know them.
Miracle bag
Well, another completely logical, but at the same time incredible answer to our question today is the presence of a magic bag. After all, it is his grandfather who always carries with him. Santa Claus with a bag of gifts behind his back - this is the image that is embedded in children’s minds for a long time.
So if your child suddenly has a question about where the miracle old man gets his presents, then you can answer that he uses a magic bag. It is enough to think about some object, put your hand into it and take out what you thought about. True, only the owner can do this. This means that only Grandfather Frost has such an opportunity. This is a pretty popular answer. You can especially try to interpret it for a baby if he asks for something big. What does not fit in the bag cannot be given as a gift. This way, you can save yourself from problems and excuses on the topic: “Why can’t he give me a real motorcycle/car/house, etc.?” True, there is also the most logical answer, which will probably be of interest to many.
Handmade
Where does Santa Claus get his gifts? It can be very difficult to give an answer, because children are peculiar whys. After the explanation, you must be ready to answer the question: "Why?"
As you know, Santa Claus works only one day a year. During this time, he manages to collect many gifts for all the children. Where do they come from? Magic or magic? It didn't work. Buying? Then where did he get the money? Takes it out of the bag? Why do we get those toys that are already sold in stores?
In order not to run into a number of such questions, you can show your child Soviet cartoons with a New Year theme. The process of creating toys will be colorfully and vividly depicted there. Simply put, Santa Claus makes them himself. So to speak, he does handmade work all year long. After that, he keeps some toys to give as gifts, and sells some. Handmade is very much appreciated - it allows you to earn enough money to buy 100 gifts. So after this, Santa Claus can buy the “missing” toys and give them to kids from all over the world.
New Year is magical winter holiday. On the night of January 1, parents want to please their children with surprises and make their dreams come true. The kids are looking forward to fragrant tangerines, festive table, favorite films, vacations and, of course, Father Frost and the Snow Maiden.
Exists good tradition turn to the winter wizard and ask for what you have been dreaming about all year. But sometimes parents consider appealing to New Year's grandfather formality and say: “Come on baby, write in a letter what to give you,” or they simply ask what Santa Claus should bring. And then the children find the ordered gifts under the tree or even receive something else. Every year, the appeal to the New Year's wizard is increasingly of a consumer nature.
How to teach a child to write a letter to Santa Claus correctly? AiF-Prikamye correspondent talked about this with psychologist Lyudmila Mikhaleva.
Why write a letter to Santa Claus?
“First of all, we are adults, we must guide the child and form in him right attitude to Santa Claus, avoiding a consumer position. Writing a letter should be approached with special care. Think about it, why do they write letters to the New Year's wizard?
First of all, this is necessary in order to settle in the soul little man faith in a miracle, a fairy tale and conduct, a kind of mini-reflection of the past year,” says Lyudmila Mikhaleva.
We awaken children's imagination!
IN childhood curiosity is a huge driving force, so it is important to tell about Father Frost and Snow Maiden, where they live and what they do. You need to try to interest the baby in your story and awaken his imagination.
Do not make the image of Santa Claus a teacher or controller
From time immemorial, the image of Santa Claus is cheerful, kind, caring and magical. He remembers all the children and visits them with pleasure on New Year's Eve.
“When talking with a child, it is important to focus on communication so that he does not feel that they are coming to test him or evaluate whether he is behaving well or whether he is behaving badly. And it doesn’t matter if Santa Claus hasn’t visited the baby yet, he still knows and remembers about him. You shouldn’t scare children with the fact that they won’t get anything for bad behavior. Invite your child to learn a poem that he will tell Santa Claus at the holiday tree. Teach your child that this will please and surprise the good wizard,” says Lyudmila Mikhaleva.
Get creative
Take paper, paints, plasticine - whatever is at hand. Let the child decorate the letter, draw a picture, make an appliqué, and realize his idea the way he wants. According to the psychologist, such an activity will bring a lot of pleasure to both parents and the child.
First you need to write a greeting. The next step to communicating with your magical grandfather is to tell him about yourself. Children can write about how they live, what they learned this year and what they learned. You can write about how their family and relatives, friends and acquaintances live. In general, whatever your heart desires.
This will be useful for him and will teach him to analyze and reason, and through these reasoning parents will be able to better understand what their baby is thinking about.
Don't forget to thank the host of the New Year. The ability to give thanks is the most important quality of any person.
Think about what you might like about New Year's holiday and what Father Frost and Snow Maiden are doing these days. Maybe the baby will want to give a gift and thank him for what the grandfather with the snowy beard will bring under the tree for the New Year.
I want to invite my friends and Svetka from 3rd “B” to the planetarium.
And of course, since Santa Claus is a wizard and can do anything, it’s worth asking for something for yourself. At the same time, emphasize that the request should be kind and wishes for the coming year are possible.
“For example, you may want to find new friends or go to the country, not quarrel with friends in kindergarten, or finish first grade with straight A’s. Set up your child so that Santa Claus knows his wishes and will definitely please him with some gift that he needs most. Explain to the children that they should ask only the most important things from such a wizard,” recommends Lyudmila Mikhaleva.
It’s better if you go with him and drop this creative message in the mailbox. It is important that he feels that his efforts were not in vain and that he knows that the letter has been sent.
Bag of gifts under the tree
Santa Claus should not overwhelm the child with a bunch of gifts. The delight will quickly pass, and the desire to receive more and more may intensify.
A bunch of toys can replace communication and games with parents, relatives and friends. Don’t forget that children’s imagination has no limits and if necessary, in a minute you can make a car or a doll from a sheet of paper.
The main thing in this matter is the attitude.
For educational games, any materials you have at hand are suitable. For example, clay, cereals, jars, ribbons, pencils, paper, paints and plasticine.
On New Year's Day, at least a little, a fairy tale awakens in each of us. Share this feeling with your child, because children are our continuation and our reflection.
