I can understand why many Europeans feel the Santa concept is out of the ordinary.

If Canadians emmigrated to Europe, would Canadians feel the same way trying to indoctrinate what many european countries' near-equivalent Santa to their children?

In Czechosolovakia (it was this when I was born), we had a Mikuláš (St-Nick).



It was kinda weird for me as a kid too, this pope-looking guy handing our fruits and nuts, a sexy angel, and a devil hanging around him too hading out coal to the bad kids.



I never really understood it, but my brother and I put boots on our windowsill and it got filled with treats most of the time. I remember dried apricots, sunflower seeds and other dried snacks.

So which would we have our kids rather have?
