"His eyes, how they twinkled! His dimples, how merry!/His cheeks were like roses! His nose like a cherry!" Do you remember this line from Clement Clarke Moore's, "A Visit from St. Nicholas?" Paints a pretty vivid picture of Santa Claus on the night before Christmas, doesn't it? Except this poem would sound a lot different in other places around the globe. "St. Nick" becomes Dedt Moroz, Julenisse or Père Noël. Even his image changes. Can you imagine? The "chubby and plump, right jolly old elf," is virtually unrecognizable in other cultures! In Norway, for example, he takes on the appearance of a goat-like creature. In Sweden, he looks more like a garden gnome. And, in places like Germany and Austria, he dons a crown and long blonde hair.
Despite the name and appearance changes, the spirit of everybody's favorite Christmas elf tends to remain the same from one continent and country to another: one of giving, sharing and rewarding good behavior throughout the year. This quiz will give you a head start on tracking Santa or Mikulás or Joulupukki this holiday season. See if you can identify Santa's moniker on his continent-hopping trip around the world. Can you place Kanakaloka? What about San Niklaw? Be a world traveler with a little extra "jingle" in this Christmas-themed quiz. Joyeux Noël! Frohe Weinachten! Feliz Navidad! Merry Christmas!
