Description
Just in time for the holiday season! Papercrafted Santa-Claus-Esque-December-Holiday-Gift-Giving-Old-Men-From-Around-Europe! I researched to the best of my abilities to give them accurate costumes and color schemes as per their respective traditions.From the left:
-Pere Noel is the French Father Christmas
-Sinterklaas is the Dutch representative for St Nicholas' feast day (I think) (and so should not be saying Merry Christmas at all but shhhh)
-Ded Moroz is the Russian Grandfather Winter, he shows up in other slavic traditions but I didn't want to have too many subtitles!
-Joulupukki is Finnish. He has a Santa-like overcoat, too, but I saw pictures of the traditional clothes he wears underneath and couldn't help myself, so cute!
These guys were fun to make, I wish I had been able to do more!

Neat. The cut out details on Grandfather Winter's staff and Pere Noel's scarf are impressive.
What is Pere Noel holding?

Thank you very much!
Oh! It's a shoe, French kids put out a shoe for Pere Noel to fill with trinkets and/or coal ;3;

You're welcome!
Oh! Like our stockings. I see it now, they do that in the Netherlands as well.
