Sounds like Christmas lads would bring you shenanigans, cheeky antics and whatnots
They do actually, iirc Iceland has like 13 different trolls (small elves) with each their own personalities and pranks for people. I think they're also all children of a big ogress who wants to eat misbehaving kids
Finland are you ok
no
Krampus does not bring gifts. Krampus punishes naughty children, nice children get presents from Saint Nicholas, but that's usually dec 5/6
Yes, it's true, Befana doesn't traditionally other much gift selection either (coal & candy).
But taking away kids is a gift on its own, and things didn't bring gifts until ppl just started doing so (iirc "father Christmas/baby Jesus" in the pic above didn't always do that).
I would add the three Magi.
Found the Spaniard 💃
In Denmark it's the Yule man. Not really christ associated.
No love for Black Pete?!
