Which person in the world would answer to any of these names - Pere Noel (France), Julinesse (Denmark), Der Weihnachtsmann (Germany), La Befana (Italy), Babouschka (Russia) and Papai Noel (Brazil)?
the danish one should be julenisse if spelt correctly but it's not santa but one of the little help type people santa for some reason has hanging round him. santa would be julemanden.
