Christmas, a Family Occasion


 'Allegro', Polish auction portal advertising film: "and you, what are you looking for this Christmas?"



Their advertising is pretty slick (this one is, I think, pretty good too).


Linguist Jakub Marian has translated different European names for Father Christmas into English (Helena Horton, 'John Chimney' and the Christmas goat - brilliant map shows who delivers the presents to different countries in Europe' Telegraph 21 Dec 2015)


I was interested in the distribution of 'Grandfather Frost' folklore, what is that about? Merry Christmas to all my readers.
