Although Santa Claus visits almost every country in the World this Christmas, some countries mantain other traditions. For example, here, in Spain, presents are usually brought the day 6th january by "los Reyes Magos" ( the three mages from Orient that, in the Gospel, adored Jesus and brought them Gold, Incense and myrrh). In the Basque Country, Santa is sometimes substituted by the Olentzero, a coal miner who brings the presents to the kids. 
 
So, do you know about more different Christmas' presents traditions over the World?

'Christmas' presents in Luxembourg are brought by St Nicholas in early December - I forget the day.
