Santa Claus, also known as Saint Nicholas or Father Christmas and by other names, takes on different meanings in different countries and regions around the world. Santa Clause is popular in many parts of the world as that nice old man who travels the world on Christmas Eve bringing gifts to deserving children.
Around the world, gifts are delivered at Christmas time by different kinds of ‘Santas’ and in different ways. In some countries like the United kingdom, the United States of America and and many others, Santa looks similar in appearance and the delivery of gifts is by a certain mode of transportation. In many other countries the differences can be subtle or dramatic. Can you guess where in the world these Santa or Santa-like bodies are from?
