  • In France, "Père Noël."
  • In Germany, "Der Weihnachtsmann."
  • in Greenland, " father christmas "
  • In Belgium, he is "Sinterklaas"
  • In some countries, Santa Claus brings gifts on Christmas Eve.
  • In Finland, for example, one family member usually dresses up like Father Christmas and distributes presents to the children.
  • In Germany, 'Der Weihnachtsmann' brings Christmas presents on Christmas Eve day, often when the family has gone to church.
