As Christmas nears in the U.S.A, children cannot wait for the arrival of Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. But in other countries in Europe he goes by different names and comes on the 6th of December, instead of the 24th. Christmas Day is traditionally kept for the religious celebration. In England he is known as Father Christmas, in Holland he goes by Sinter Klaas and in Germany he is called Skt. Nikolaus. Nevertheless, he is the bringer of good will and presents for children.
