In costa rica we have no santa, and also if you're a Catholic you know how Christmas is about celebrating Jesus' b-day? Well, most of the time parents say that it is Jesus who brings us the presents, since he was born to give us forgiveness and love as a gift from God.... so yeah... it's Jesus who "takes place as santa"... We've acquired santa as well throughout the years but only because of the influence of the United states, and the impact of globalization over our culture.
Mmmm incorrect
Italian girl here :D I assure you in Italy santa is exactly the same Americans have! The witch this post is referring to is the "Befana", which is a completely different thing. She brings coal to bad kids and sweets to good ones in the night between 5th and 6th January....And she's kinda scary
