For example, in some European fairy folk and magic elf traditions, St. Nicholas and Krampus would go house to house to reward or punish children with “Ruten” - small birch twigs. 1800's Santas are found dressed in different colors of suits, as tiny elves, as Father Christmas giants, etc. Santa's themes include: Saint Nicholas / Jacob Grimm (pre-Christian house spirit (kobold, elf) / Knecht Ruprecht / Krampus (Krampusz) / Klaubauf / Bartel / Pelzebock / Belsnickel / Schmutzli / Rumpelklas / Bellzebub / Hans Muff /Drapp / Zwarte Piet or Black Pete / Schmutzli ....
