Old Man Winter

Okay, so one last blog about Santa.

Apparently, although Santa is generally called Mikulás, he is sometimes referred to as Télapó or Old Man Winter. This name was introduced during the Soviet era as the religious reference to Saint Nicholas (Mikulás) was unpopular so the more secular name of Télapó was used.

This fact was brought to you by Daniel: The ever growing font of useless information.
