From rice pudding in Denmark and leaf bread in Iceland to tangerines in Italy and Spain and fruit cake Down Under, what kids leave out for Father Christmas varies from country to country. In some places he gets nothing at all, which he might be relieved about – if he were to drink a glass of sherry or port at every home in the UK tonight, he would gain 263 tonnes in weight. And that is before he has tucked in to any mince pies or fried chicken or gingerbread men… Denmark Santa, known in Denmark as Julemanden – the Yule Man – is treated to a bowl of rice pudding called risengrod. Danes also leave him a reviving coffee – giving him a caffeine kick to help with the evening’s round-the-world deliveries. Chile A slice of a rich fruity sponge called pan de pascua is left for Santa – who is called Viejo Pascuero here, which translates to Old Man Christmas. Sometimes he is also offered a popular drink called cola de mono (monkey’s tail) which is made from coffee, milk, liquor, cinnamon and sugar. Argentina Maybe Argentinians are worried Papa Noel won’t fit down their chimneys – they don’t put out any snacks. Instead, all the attention goes to his reindeer, who are left water and hay. China Santa is known as Sheng dan lao ren – Old Christmas Man. On Christmas Eve, which the Chinese call Peaceful Evening, no food or drink is left. Instead, people exchange apples – chosen because the Mandarin word for apple and peace rhyme. Russia Maybe it is a good thing for the rest of us that Russia celebrates Christmas on January 7. Because all the kids leave a generous shot of vodka for Santa – and with 57.5million homes in the country, he’d be too sleighed to get round the world on December 24. Known here as Ded Moroz, which translates as Grandfather Frost, he uses three dashing white horses instead of reindeer to pull his giant sledge – and takes glamorous blonde assistant Snegurochka along for the ride. Iceland Christmas lasts 26 days in Iceland and 13 different Santas called Yule Lads, the offspring of a mountain troll, bring lucky children lots of gifts and snacks. To thank them, kids leave out laufabrauð, which translates as leaf bread and tastes like a crispy wafer. Hungary Hungarian families do not offer anything to their version of Father Christmas – Mikulás – who visits on December 5, the eve of the Feast of St Nicholas. He leaves sweets and small gifts in kids’ boots, which they polish and leave on windowsills for him to inspect. Then Baby Jesus brings more on Christmas Eve. Italy Children leave Santa a glass of wine and tangerines. Santa is known here as Baba Natale b
