Home Again, Home Again, Jiggety Jig





See the man shoveling snow off the roof?

During Soviet Times Santa Claus was forbidden because his origins are in Saint Nicholas, a religious figure, a new gift giving character was chosen from Russian Literature, Grandfather Frost.  But nowadays Santa Claus has crept into Russia, especially with advertising.







Hedgehogs, yozh, are very popular in advertisements here.
