Yes as i said the same goes for Spain, when my mum was younger, or perhaps we don't even have to go that far in the past but when i was younger nobody used to have Father Christmas/Santa Claus or whatever you want to call him, we just had Three Wise men, but as Antoine says due to TV and from the US etc traditions are stupidly copied, sometimes with the excuse of " oh we give them presents the 25th so they can play for longer during the holiday " stupid, as if presents were only for the holiday time... i don't like how some foreign traditions are being copied in my contry, just like some people gets dressed on Haloween, when it's been never celebrated here at all...
