The BFD Map of the day

Table of Contents

This year, will you be visited by Father Christmas, Santa Claus, Grandfather Frost, John Chimney or Christmas Gnome?

An infographic made by 26-year-old Czech linguist, mathematician, and artist Jakub Marian shows the names of gift-bringers at Christmas around Europe in one handy map.

As Marian elaborates on his website:

Each country (or region) has its own traditional Christmas gift-bringer. Some of them are quite nice, such as the British Father Christmas, others are outright weird, such as the Catalan “defecating log”, but all of them are equally interesting.
