What are the similarities between Baboushka Grandfather Frost and La Befana?

As such, the character "Grandma Grandfather Frost" does not exist. Grandfather Frost only relative - Snegurochka. Grandfather Frost as the Befana, gives presents. However, chimneys does not climb, since it does not allow the construction of a Russian stove. His work he is doing before January 1, rather than 5-6, as Befana. A similar Russian female character called Baba Yaga.

Why was elya yelnats called a no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather?

Elya Yelnats was called a "no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather" in the novel "Holes" by Louis Sachar due to a family curse that stemmed from his actions in the past. Elya failed to fulfill a promise to Madame Zeroni, which led to misfortune for his descendants. This description reflects the family’s long-standing reputation and the consequences of Elya's choices, as the curse affected multiple generations. The phrase humorously emphasizes the absurdity and depth of the family's plight.
